Entertainment Overview

Porteños love to party. Many don't think twice about dancing until 6 AM and heading to work at 8 AM. And alcohol doesn't play a vital role in whether people enjoy themselves or not; porteños could have fun at an insurance convention, provided the conversation and music were good and everyone looked marvelous. Indeed, for many, it's better to look good than to feel good.

Being stylish is just one factor for a successful night on the town. Another is knowing that when we say this is a late-night town, we mean it. Clubs, which generally attract crowds in the 18-35 age range, don't begin to fill up until 2 or 3 AM. Theater performances start at 9 PM or 9:30 PM, and the last movie begins after midnight. That said, the subte closes at 10 PM, so going out late means taking a taxi home or waiting until 5 AM for trains to resume running.
