Buenos Aires keeps some of the latest nightlife hours on the planet - clubs that don't fill until 2 - 3am and run past sunrise. Beyond the tango cliché, the city has a strong electronic scene and a dense bar culture centred on Palermo, and it ranks among the world's best for nightlife.

The party scene

Palermo is the nightlife core - bars and clubs that start impossibly late. Crobar and Niceto carry the electronic scene; San Telmo holds the bohemian bars and milongas. The defining feature is the hours: nothing gets going before midnight, and dawn finishes are normal.

When to go

Year-round city scene. The southern summer (Dec - Feb) is warmest and liveliest; the city never really slows.
