We recommend guests take a taxi when first arriving to the city rather than trying the public transportation systems. The buses can be difficult to navigate for a new comer and the metro system tends to be crowded, especially when travelling with luggage.

By law, all taxis in Buenos Aires must use their meter. Meters start at AR$4.60. Although it is generally safe to hail a taxi on the street, it is advisable to call a reputable company, such as Premium Taxi (5238 0000).
