Buenos Aires after dark
The timetable is real rather than a cliche: dinner at ten, bars at one, clubs after three, and the floor emptying around seven in the morning. Milongas matter more than clubs, with La Viruta in Palermo running a class before dancing until dawn and Salon Canning the serious room. Palermo Soho and Hollywood carry the bar crowd, and Chacarita is where it moved next.
What to eat in Buenos Aires
Asado is the organising principle: bife de chorizo and entrana over wood at Don Julio, booked out weeks ahead, or Parrilla Pena for the same thing without the queue. Pizza here is thick and cheese-heavy, so order fugazzeta at Guerrin on Corrientes. Medialunas dipped in coffee stand in for breakfast. Alfajores and dulce de leche are everywhere, and the ice cream is Italian in method.
What's actually worth your time in Buenos Aires
Recoleta Cemetery is a city of marble mausoleums where Eva Peron lies in the Duarte vault, and foreigners now pay to enter. The Teatro Colon guided tour is the one ticket nobody regrets, since the horseshoe hall is among the best-sounding rooms anywhere. El Ateneo Grand Splendid, a 1919 theatre turned bookshop, costs nothing. Caminito in La Boca is three painted blocks, and you should not wander past them.
What first-timers get wrong in Buenos Aires
Buses take no cash whatsoever, so a SUBE card is required for every colectivo, subte and commuter train and is sold at kiosks and stations. Inflation makes any peso price you read online stale within weeks, so budget in dollars and convert once you arrive. Foreign cards now settle at a favourable official rate for most tourist spending. Tips of roughly ten percent are given in cash.
What things cost in Buenos Aires
Quoting pesos here is close to useless because the number moves every month. In dollar terms a parrilla dinner with a bottle of Malbec lands around twenty to thirty per person, a subte ride under a dollar, a taxi across Palermo a couple of dollars, and a coffee with a medialuna about three. Hotels price in dollars and hold their value far better than restaurants.
