Buenos Aires has more people per square mile than any U.S. city. The density is palpable and it gives the city a vibrancy that is reminiscent of Manhattan. There are stores and shops everywhere. Taxis are ubiquitous. The sidewalks on main avenues are crowded with people. It's a city that's alive.
Yet, Sundays are still quieter than in large U.S. cities. Many shops are closed and traffic is noticeably lighter. Christmas Day is the biggest surprise: Virtually everything is closed. One has to plan ahead for breakfast and lunch, or go hungry. Curiously, many restaurants re-open for dinner on Christmas Day.
