Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza) (EZE) to Buenos Aires
Shuttle buses from Ezeiza to the city centre take about 50–80 minutes and are the usual budget-friendly choice. An official taxi or pre-booked remis takes 45–70 minutes and costs considerably more.
Most international flights use Ezeiza. Domestic and some regional flights use Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), right next to Palermo.
Best for most people: Taxi. Official taxis or remises booked at the counters inside Arrivals take you to the door at a fixed price, which is easiest after a long flight.

Common questions
How do I get from Ezeiza to the city centre?
Most first-timers take an official taxi or remis booked at the counters inside Arrivals, or an airport shuttle bus such as Tienda León, which runs to its terminal in the centre. The ride takes about 45–80 minutes depending on traffic. City bus line 8 is very cheap but slow and impractical with luggage.
How much is a taxi from Ezeiza?
Official taxis and remises charge a fixed fare quoted at their counters inside Arrivals. Because of inflation in Argentina, peso prices change often, so ask the price before paying and compare with Uber or Cabify. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in the arrivals hall.
What is the difference between Ezeiza and Aeroparque?
Ezeiza (EZE) is about 35 km from the centre and handles most international flights. Aeroparque (AEP) sits next to Palermo on the river, only about 10–25 minutes by taxi from most neighbourhoods, and handles domestic and some regional flights. Connecting between the two takes about an hour or more.
How long does the journey take?
Allow about 45–70 minutes by taxi or remis and 50–80 minutes by shuttle bus from Ezeiza to the centre, Palermo or Recoleta. Weekday rush hours and holiday weekends can add significant time. Line 8 colectivo can take two hours or more.
