Ezeiza Airport to Buenos Aires city: every option explained
Most international flights land at Ministro Pistarini International Airport, better known as Ezeiza (EZE). It is about 35 km (22 miles) from downtown Buenos Aires: the drive takes 40 to 60 minutes, and up to 90 minutes at rush hour. Domestic flights and some regional ones use Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), which is inside the city, 15 to 20 minutes from Palermo or Recoleta.
1. Private transfer (the easiest after a long flight)
A driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name, helps with the luggage and takes you straight to your hotel or apartment. The price is fixed and agreed in advance, so there are no surprises with traffic or tolls. It is the best option if you arrive at night, travel with children or with a lot of luggage, or simply want to rest.

2. Official taxi or remis
Inside the terminal, after customs, there are official counters where you pay a fixed fare before getting into the car. Avoid people who offer you a ride inside the airport without a counter.
3. Shuttle bus
There are shuttle buses that connect Ezeiza with a terminal in the city center, where you can take a taxi to your accommodation. It is cheaper than a private car, but it adds a transfer and a wait.
4. Ride apps
Uber, Cabify and DiDi work in Buenos Aires. You will need mobile data when you land and the pick-up point is outside the terminal, which can be confusing after a long flight.
5. Public bus
The cheapest option, but the trip can take two hours or more, you need a local transport card (SUBE) and it is not practical with suitcases.
Our advice
If it is your first time in Argentina, book your transfer in advance: you leave the airport, someone is waiting for you and you go straight to rest. And if you are also planning excursions or a trip to Iguazu Falls, we can organize everything together.
