There are several options to go to and from the two
metropolitan area airports.
Aeropuerto
Internacional Ministro Pistarini (Ezeiza)
International flights,
located
35 kilometers
(21 miles) from
the center of the city of
Buenos Aires.
Note:
As soon as you claim your baggage and exit the customs
area of the airport, you will notice that many people (mainly men) will
approach you and offer car services to the city.
It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT take any of
these people's cars, since they are not authorized to carry passengers and
usually take advantage of tourists.
If you do not have a reservation prior to your arrival, you can make it as
soon as you arrive at the transportation booths located outside the customs
area.
Note:
All the fares are in Argentinean pesos.
From
Ezeiza
Airport To The City
-
Minibus:
$26
The
Manuel Tienda León
Bus Company
provides transportation to the center of the city
and has reservation
booths in the arrival hall. The minibuses depart every hour, are
inexpensive and make several stops along the way. Confirm with the
operator if your destination is close to their stop.
-
Remise
(car service): $45.
See our
City Transportation section for
information on remises.
We recommend
that you use this option if you already have a reservation and the driver
is waiting for you.
-
Taxi:
$35/$50.
Taxis have reservation
booths inside the airport. Confirm the price before making the reservation
(www.taxiezeiza.com).
DO NOT take a taxi from a person who verbally offers the service inside
the airport hall; they usually take advantage of tourists, see our
Note above.
-
Public Transportation:
$1.35. If you are
not carrying large or heavy luggage and want to spend very little money in
transportation, this is your best bet. It takes about
1˝
hour to get to downtown Buenos Aires.
The fare is paid on the bus with coins ONLY, so make
sure to have at least $2 in coins. Go to the information booth inside the
arrivals hall and ask for the exact location of the bus stop for bus
number
86. When
getting on the bus you must tell the driver your destination (e.g.
Centro or Plaza de Mayo)
and put the coins in the ticket machine;
wait a few seconds for the machine to print a receipt
and to give your change back. Keep the receipt handy because it may be
requested during the trip. We suggest that you sit in the front seats,
near the driver, so you can ask him where to get off. For more information
on public transportation visit our City
Transportation section.
