In Argentina, everyday lifestyles are highly relaxed and laid back. People in Argentina are very similar to that of Europe- they have many outdoor cafes and parks where people can relax. |
Argentina's streets are full both in the day and night. They offer late night shopping and many late-night activities such as clubs or discos.
