Arrival and Information
Buenos Aires is well served by numerous international and national flights . It is also a transport hub for the rest of the country, with frequent daily bus services to and from most towns and cities. Arriving by train these days is less common; the withdrawal of government subsidies to provincial rail services has left few long-distance connections to the capital. Additionally, there are ferry services from Uruguay. For information , head to the city's Secretaria de Turismo at Sarmiento 1551, 5th Floor (Mon-Fri 10am-5pm; tel 011/4372-3612, www.buenosaires.gov.ar ), a useful port of call for specialized enquiries; otherwise the information on offer at the various kiosks in the city centre is more than adequate - the most useful of these is at Avenida Diagonal Roque Saenz Pena and Florida (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm), but there are others in the Galerias Pacifico shopping centre on Florida and Cordoba (1st Floor; (Mon-Fri 10am-7pm, Sat 11am-7pm), in the Cafe Tortoni at Av. de Mayo 829 (Mon-Fri 2-6pm), and on the corner of Lamadrid and Caminito in La Boca (Fri, Sat & Sun 10am-5pm). All of them offer standard tourist leaflets and maps. Also look out for the free tango publications El Tangauta and Buenos Aires Tango and the excellent cultural listings magazine Fervor de Buenos Aires , available at all kiosks, but most reliably at the Avenida Diagonal Roque Saenz Pena one. You can also pick up local information from the very well-organized National Tourist Office at Santa Fe 883 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm; tel 011/4312-2232 or tel 0800/5550016). There are also provincial tourist offices within the capital, which are often useful places to head for help in planning travel beyond Buenos Aires. If you are spending more than a very short period in the city, a combined street map and bus guide such as Guia Lumi or Guia "T", widely available from central kiosks, is a pretty essential accessory. They're not cheap - although you can sometimes pick up special offers at bargain bookshops or from hawkers on the city's buses and subway trains - but for anyone keen to explore beyond the most obvious sites, or make full use of the extensive bus network, they're a worthwhile investment.
