How to get to Jorge Newbery Airpark

The central location of Aeroparque makes it conveniently accessible from Buenos Aires city centre in a few minutes by taxi or urban bus.

By Car

Visitors arriving by car follow Avenida Costanera, which runs along the Río de la Plata to the airport.

By Train

There is no railway station at the airport.

By Bus

Various urban bus lines (colectivo) connect Aeroparque to many areas of the city. Payment is made with the rechargeable SUBE card, available for purchase and top-up at city kiosks and newsstands (not at the airport: it is advisable to get one beforehand, or ask someone already staying in Buenos Aires); alternatively, most colectivos also accept contactless payment with an international debit/credit card directly at the validator, without needing the SUBE.
💡
Tips If your itinerary includes a connection between Aeroparque and Ezeiza, always allow 45-60 minutes for transfer, weather permitting: the two airports are not directly connected.

Parking near Jorge Newbery Airpark

The official parking lot is right in front of the terminal, given the central and compact position of the airport in the Palermo neighborhood.

It is not guarded but video-monitored; parking is charged from the first minute, with rates among the highest among Argentine airports given the central location in Buenos Aires. Exact rates in Argentine pesos are not stable over time due to local inflation: verify the current amount locally or on the airport website.

Bring driver's license, passport, and credit card in the driver's name; always check whether an international license is required based on your nationality.

Hotels near Jorge Newbery Airpark

Jorge Newbery sits inside Palermo, right on the Río de la Plata waterfront: downtown Buenos Aires is 8 km away, the heart of Palermo less than 2. A taxi from the airport's official stands, with a fixed-price ticket issued by the self-service kiosks in arrivals, almost never takes more than 15 minutes to Palermo or Recoleta, a little longer to the Microcentro or San Telmo at rush hour. Because of this, unlike Ezeiza, the classic «airport or city» dilemma barely exists here: staying in one of the central neighbourhoods costs the same transfer time as a hotel right by the runways, but opens the door to restaurants, nightlife and the subway. A night near the airport is only worth it for those arriving late at night or flying out in the very first hours of the morning.

Taxi or car in about 15 minutes to central Palermo, a little more to Belgrano; the airport has no dedicated public shuttle, only the official taxi stands and the self-service kiosks with fixed-price tickets.
