How to Get Around Ezeiza, Buenos Aires#
Ezeiza is primarily an air-transport district (EZE). For most visitors the quickest route to Buenos Aires is an airport shuttle, taxi or private transfer; buses and the suburban rail network serve local trips but are less convenient for international arrivals with luggage.
- Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) transfers (ARS 3,000-10,000 (approx. for taxis/remises; fares vary by operator and time)) - Ezeiza airport sits in the municipality of Ezeiza. Official taxis, pre-booked remises and airport shuttle services operate from arrivals; travel time to Buenos Aires city centre is typically 45-70 minutes but can be much longer in peak traffic.
- Aeroparque (AEP) connections (ARS 1,000-3,000 (approx. shuttle/taxi)) - Domestic flights arrive at Aeroparque; passengers transferring between AEP and EZE should allow substantial road travel time (often 40-90 minutes) and use shuttle services or taxis. Public transfer options exist but are slower.

- Local buses / Public colectivos (ARS 50-300) - Local colectivos and bus routes serve the Ezeiza district and connect to suburban railheads; they are the cheapest option but slower and less comfortable for luggage-heavy travellers. Use them only if familiar with routes and schedules.
