How to Get to Hurlingham, Buenos Aires
Hurlingham is part of Greater Buenos Aires on the Sarmiento commuter corridor; arriving visitors usually come via Buenos Aires's two airports (Ezeiza - EZE for international flights and Aeroparque - AEP for domestic) or by train to Estación Hurlingham on the Sarmiento Line. The easiest public‑transport route to Hurlingham from the city is the Sarmiento train from Once; airport transfers commonly combine shuttle/bus services or door‑to‑door taxis/remises.
Ministro Pistarini / Ezeiza (EZE): International airport serving most long‑haul flights to Buenos Aires. The common options to reach Hurlingham are: take an airport shuttle or private bus (e.g., shuttle services to Retiro or Once) and then transfer to the Sarmiento commuter train at Once; or take a licensed airport taxi/remis door‑to‑door. Expect total door‑to‑door time of roughly 60-90 minutes depending on traffic; taxis/remises from EZE to Greater Buenos Aires typically cost in the low‑to‑mid tens of USD (approximate) while shuttle + train will be cheaper but requires the transfer at Once.
Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP): The city’s domestic airport located close to Palermo and downtown Buenos Aires. From Aeroparque you can take a taxi or rideshare directly toward Hurlingham (roughly 30-60 minutes depending on traffic) or use buses/subway to reach Estación Once and transfer onto the Sarmiento Line. Taxis/rideshares from Aeroparque are considerably shorter than from Ezeiza (often under an hour) and typically cost a modest fare (lower than Ezeiza transfers); using public bus + train is the cheapest option but requires at least one transfer.
Train: Hurlingham is served by the Sarmiento Line (Estación Hurlingham) on the Once-Moreno corridor. The train is the most direct public transport link to central Buenos Aires - a trip to Estación Once is commonly under an hour depending on service and stops, and Once connects you to the city subway (Subte) and many bus routes. Bring a SUBE card to pay fares; trains can be crowded at peak times and occasionally subject to delays.
Bus (colectivo) and long‑distance coach: Local colectivos link Hurlingham with nearby towns (Morón, Ituzaingó) and with transfer points into the city; routes vary and are paid with a SUBE card. For long‑distance or intercity travel you’ll use Retiro long‑distance coach terminal in Buenos Aires - reach Retiro by train (Sarmiento to Once + short transfer) or by direct shuttle from Ezeiza. Journey times by colectivo to central hubs typically range from 45-90 minutes depending on route and traffic.
How to Get Around Hurlingham, Buenos Aires
Hurlingham is easiest to navigate by using the Sarmiento commuter trains for trips into central Buenos Aires and colectivos or taxis for shorter local journeys. Buy and top up a SUBE card for buses and trains; avoid peak commuting hours on the Sarmiento Line if you want a seat. For airport transfers, remises or shuttle services are more convenient but more costly than the public transport option via Once.
- Sarmiento Line (Train) (approx ARS 60-120 (SUBE, approximate)) - Hurlingham station sits on the Sarmiento Line between Once (central Buenos Aires) and Moreno. Trains are the fastest reliable public option into the city centre - expect a direct trip to Once in roughly 30-50 minutes depending on stopping pattern and traffic on the line. Trains are crowded at peak hours; buy and top up a SUBE card before travel and avoid rush hour if you want a seat.
- Colectivos (Local buses) (approx ARS 60 (SUBE, typical single fare, approximate)) - Local bus (colectivo) routes connect Hurlingham with neighbouring partidos (Morón, Ituzaingó) and with transfer hubs for central Buenos Aires. Buses are frequent on main corridors and run 24/7 on some lines, but journeys are subject to road congestion and can be slow during peak times. You must pay with a SUBE card; keep small change or a charged SUBE for seamless boarding.
- Subte & Transfers (approx ARS 60 (SUBE, typical single fare, approximate)) - There is no subway station in Hurlingham itself - to reach the Buenos Aires Subte network take the Sarmiento train to Estación Once and transfer to Subte Line A/C or buses from there. The integrated public transport network makes this a straightforward option for reaching central and eastern neighborhoods, but it requires at least one transfer and can be busy during peaks.
- Taxis & Remises (approx USD 3-10 (short trips in town); USD 15-35 (from Aeroparque); USD 30-60 (from Ezeiza) - approximate) - Metered radio taxis and private remises operate across Greater Buenos Aires and are useful for evenings, luggage-heavy travel or door‑to‑door airport transfers. Remises (pre‑booked cars) offer fixed prices for airport runs and are commonly used from Ezeiza; expect a noticeably higher cost than public transport but faster and more comfortable service. Always confirm a price or ensure the meter is running for taxis.
- Rideshare (Uber, Cabify) (approx USD 3-20 (typical city trip, depends on distance and surge)) - Uber and Cabify operate in Buenos Aires and are common for point‑to‑point trips to and from Hurlingham; fares vary with demand but are often competitive with taxis for daytime trips. Rideshares are convenient for late nights or when public transport is less frequent, but surge pricing can make them expensive during peak periods or airport demand.
- Walking - Hurlingham is a suburban locality with walkable town centres and short distances between local shops, stations and parks. Walking is the best way to explore the immediate neighbourhood around Estación Hurlingham, but for longer journeys within Greater Buenos Aires you'll rely on trains, buses or cars.
