Argentina by Night: Buenos Aires Bars, Riverside Rosario and Córdoba Cuarteto

descriptionDescription

Argentina has one of the most vibrant and diverse nightlife scenes in South America, and this 8-day itinerary makes the most of it. It begins in Buenos Aires, the city that never sleeps, with three very different kinds of night out: the designer bars, craft breweries and electronic music clubs of Palermo Hollywood, epicenter of the hipster scene. The milongas of San Telmo, where tango is a social dance and its unwritten codes are as thrilling as the dance itself: you ask for a dance with a glance, dance three tangos in a row, and then say thank you. And Puerto Madero, with its luxury clubs housed in converted old docks on the banks of the Río de la Plata. The route continues to Rosario, the riverside city on the Paraná, with its floating bars along the waterfront and its buzzing student nightlife. But the crown jewel is Córdoba, the province of cuarteto: a frenetic music you dance by jumping, inherited from Italian immigration, that fills entire stadiums. A night out in Nueva Córdoba, the student quarter, is legendary: bars, clubs and peñas that don't close until dawn, fueled by fernet with coke — the national concoction.
