The ‘Subte’ or Metro System does not appear to be very well-designed.Lines ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ start from Plaza de Mayo before radiating out in different directions. If one wants to switch from one line to another, one has to return all the way to Plaza de Mayo and change from there.Line ‘A’ is the oldest underground in South America. The trains there are made of wood.
I took the MERCOSUR bus service from Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires. The service originates in Rio and I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to see the real Brasil - it takes 56 hours to cross the border and goes through areas such as Londrina and Foz de Iguacu.
When you come from Chile, take the 'lake-route' through the Andes. 4 busses and three boats will bring you from Puerto Montt to San Carlos de Bariloche. See the Chile travelogue for the start of the daytrip and the ´f rom Chile´ travelogue for the end.
The buses, 'semi-cama' (half bed = like in an airplane-economic class) and 'coche cama' (bed), are a fine way of travelling around. They are punctual and comfortable. Usually cold and/or hot meals and drinks are served on the long distance services.! Ask before buying a ticket !Tickets are (negociated and) sold at the offices of the different buscompanies located at the central busstation of each town or city. So there's a possibility of shopping around and asking for special rates (Sp. : Hay offertas ?).The buses on the long distance services have a lavatory on board (Sp. : baño(s) / sanitario) and tv-video. Usually smoking is not allowed in the bus.Every 2,5 - 3 hours the bus has a (sanitary) stop at a busstation. Having some toiletpaper in the hand lugage comes in handy. Otherwise the lady at the baños of the busstation will charge for the use of toiletpaper.Passing a night in a bus...
I flew in through Ezeiza, Buenos Aires' international airport. It's about 40 km SW of Bs. As. and takes about 40 minutes to an hour to depending on the mode of transport you choose to get into the city. Cabs cost about US$30 plus the tolls for the autopista (US$3).Most domestic flights (and flights to Uruguay) use Aeroparque Jorge Newberry, about 5 km NW of Retiro in near downtown Bs. As. A bus (#45 I think) from Retiro costs about US$0.80 and takes about 15 minutes.Most cheap (and not-so-cheap) travel in Argentina is done by bus. Argentine buses are usually quite comfortable, even overnight. Which is a good thing, because Argentina is a big country!Argentine drivers are a different breed. Quite frankly, I felt safer crossing the streets of Athens than the streets of Bs. As. or Córdoba! Double lines are meaningless (as are any lane lines, really). Speed limits on a rural 2-lane highways...
We entered Argentina a few times through Chile with busses. Everytime, without any problem. The border logistics were quick and not too bothering.Busses, is a great way to go around Argentian. They are comfortable and not too expensive (comparing to flights). I did take an inner flight to Buenos Aires from the South and spared myself about 40 hours on a bus... So that's an option also.
Once you are in Argentina...if you want to rent a car...please notice there are long distances between all the must see activities ad maybe you must take a plane to arrive to certain areas.I suggest to visit www.ruta0.com, have useful info but it's all in spanish
By airplane, if you travel to Buenos Aires (Ezeiza Airport) you can book yout ticket at Aerolineas Argentinas...good service and lower rates ...another companies United, LandChile, AirFrance... Aerolineas Argentinas has international and domestic Flights
The subway is safe and relatively straight forward. Take a remise rather than a taxi from the airport to the city. The taxi cabs that hang out at the airport are normally mafia owned. More dangerous. Play it safe and take a remise.
A wide net of subway stations link the most important spots in Buenos Aires. It is the fastest and most practical way to travel throughout the city. Line A takes you from Plaza de Mayo where stands the Casa Rosada, to Primera Junta, in Caballito neighborhood. Line B sets out from Leanddro N. Alem (where the Luna Park is located), up to Federico Lacroze, ín Urquíza train station. Line C crosses all the other lines, going from Retiro up to Constitución. Line D is born in the Cathedral up to Congreso the Tucumán, in Belgrano. And at last, Line E that goes from Bolívar Station, next to the Townhall, to Plaza de los Virreyes, in Flores. The token has a price of $0.70.
