Arriving in Argentina
All airline companies that fly into Argentina arrive mainly at the International Airport “Ministro Pistarini” at Ezeiza, located at 37 Km (22 miles) from the City of Buenos Aires. There, after fulfilling corresponding immigration procedures, passengers can travel to the City of Buenos Aires by duly identified taxis and private cars called “remises”, or by private buses, which counters are located at the exit of the airport. If passengers have to travel to any province, the recommended alternative is to use a transfer service to the Metropolitan Airport "Jorge Newbery" or to the bus terminal in Retiro. Remises are private cars contracted by a company, to transport passengers. It is strongly recommended to always take identified taxis, private buses or remises hired in the counters inside the airport, and FOR PASSENGERS SAFETY, DO NOT ACCEPT TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OFFERED IN A LOUD VOICE BY NOT IDENTIFIED PEOPLE . A taxi trip from the airport to the city takes approximately between 30 and 40 minutes. Once in the City of Buenos Aires you can choose a place where to stay as it has a vast hotel offer.
