What is the best way to get from the airport to center of Buenos Aires?
Is there a good shuttle service? Taxis? What should one expect to pay? Is it worth pre-arranging?
Best Answer
In Buenos Aires there are 2 airports: Aeroparque (AEP) and Ezeiza (EZE). First one is smaller and closer to the city center.
If you arrive to AEP you have to take a "colectivo". It's a bus that goes from the airport to the center stopping when somebody pushes the stop button. Very easy :) When I was in Buenos Aires (2008), it cost 1$ (ARS, about 0'20 dolars). Also you can take a taxi for 20$ (ARS) if you arrive late or too early.
If you arrive to EZE you have to take bus number 86 that arrives to Plaza de Mayo in the city center. I don't remember the price, but it was.. cheap ;) A taxi from EZE may be really expensive due it's far from city center.
So, you don't need to pre-arrange, there is not any special "shuttle" that worth to pay for it and use taxi only if you arrive to AEP. I hope it helps!

Answer 2
If you are arriving from an international flight, you will probably land in Ezeiza (EZE). There you have two good options:
- Remis (car with driver): When you arrive, after the customs control, you will see a bunch of stalls selling this service. There is a flat fare to the city center of around AR$200. Some companies are cheaper than other, shop around
- "Manuel Tienda León" Shuttle: The shuttle will drive you to Retiro, in the city center, for AR$90. Then you can take a taxi ($30 to $60, depending on where your hotel is located).
I personally do not advise you to take the bus as it can be a long and uncomfortable trip.
