To and From the Airport

If it is your first time in Buenos Aires, you might be a little dazed after flying all night in an uncomfortable plane. You will find that the Ezeiza International Airport is some 30 kilometres away from the city centre. Just like any international airport you will have people approaching you asking if you need a cab. Just ignore them. A cab ride could be a bit pricey at best and some are not even registered legal cabs. So if you just want a safe and cheap ride into the city, I recommend you go with Manuel Tienda León which operates a bus service from the airport terminal to the city centre and back every 1/2 hour from 5.00 am to 10.00 pm and every hour afterwards. As soon as you arrive (after you have gone through immigrations, picked up your luggage and passed customs) you will come to a round hall with a lot of taxi, bus, accommodation and tourist information booths. Look for the one with the big lion head, and just walk right over to the Manuel Tienda Leon stand. Purchase a ticket to Puerto Madero Terminal for $38 Argentine pesos or $64 round trip. For a few pesos more you can get a transfer ticket that will take you to your hotel. Also, if you are connecting with a fly to a city within Argentina, you can get a transfer to Aeroparque, which is the domestic airport. The service is fast and efficient. If your party consists of three or four persons you can also get a car service for $115, a little more convenient. More so, San Martin Bus is another good option. The service is quite similar. Do not take taxis outside the airport. If you have any doubts there is a tourist information stand right at the hall. For more info go to...
