Islas Malvinas Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

The Islas Malvinas airport is in the Fisherton district, about 13 km northwest of downtown Rosario, with no direct train: those who only need to change flights or leave early in the morning can stay around Funes, a few minutes from the terminals, while those who want to enjoy the Paraná riverside and the historic centre do better going down into the city, reachable by taxi in about 20-25 minutes. Rosario is Argentina's third city, with an excellent choice of international chain hotels right downtown: the airport area remains a convenience option, not a place to stay.

Centre and costanera

City centre · From Fisherton airport, about 13 km northwest, downtown is reached by taxi or ride-hailing app in about 20-25 minutes; there are no direct trains, only scheduled buses with multiple stops.

Best for: Those who want the historic centre, the Paraná costanera and the Centro Metropolitano de Convenciones just steps from the hotel.

Pros

The Paraná riverfront and the Monumento a la Bandera are reachable on foot from almost all of these hotels
A good choice of international chains (Wyndham, IHG) right in the city centre

Cons

From downtown to the airport it still takes 20-25 minutes by taxi, longer during rush hour
No direct rail connection to the airport
