Transportation from/to airport
A taxi or remis ride from the Ezeiza International Airport to downtown will have a cost of about 2000 pesos. If you wish to take a remis or taxi, book it with one of the authorized agencies that you will find at the airport, just at the exit from the custom area.
Remis is a type of transportation where one purchases a drive with a private chauffeur for a fixed price to a certain destination, independenlty of its time duration. The chauffeur picks you up from the office of the company and brings you to your final destination without any further charge than a potential tip. Check the website https://www.aa2000.com.ar/ezeiza/transporte.
Otherwise, an alternative is the Bus company ‘Manuel Tienda Leon’ https://www.tiendaleon.com/, which has buses departing to Buenos Aires city every 30′ at a cost of 1000 pesos. The booth of the company is in the arrival area at the Ezeiza airport. The bus is direct to the bus terminal (Terminal Madero located in Av. Madero 1299, Buenos Aires, –look at the map in venue-) or to the Obelisco -look at the map in venue- which are in the central area of Buenos Aires. The company also offers a minibus service to drop you at your hotel from the bus terminal (Terminal Madero located in Av. Madero 1299, Buenos Aires). This service is recommended – you should then book it upfront when buying your ticket (https://www.tiendaleon.com/). The bus with dropping off service has a cost of 145 pesos (110 pesos: bus to the terminal + 35 pesos: minibus to the hotel).
The website of the Aeropuerto Internacional Ezeiza http://www.aa2000.com.ar/ provides you with more information regarding transport from and to the airport.
Currency
The currency of Argentina is the PESO ($). Credit cards such as Visa, American Express and Master Card are acceptable at hotels, large restaurants and shops.
There are different ATM machines and some currency agencies inside the airport, that can be used to get the first pesos argentinos before travelling to reach the hotel.
Note that due to currency exchange restrictions in Argentina it is very difficult to change back pesos to dollars or euros.
Watch out for an unofficial change marked known as the ‘dollar blue’ taking place at less visible places.
Visa
