Of all the cities we have visited in South America with our children, Buenos Aires is our favourite. Simmering with a vibrant mixture of culture, history and fun, all spiced with Latin passion, it offers much to adults and children alike. From fascinating museums and extravagant parks to bustling markets and delicious food there is so much to see and experience. As a family vacation destination, we can heartily recommend exploring Buenos Aires with Kids.
Unlike the sprawling acres of concrete displayed by other cities in the region looking at you, Rio! The warm, welcoming culture is ideal for families looking for a genuine experience and somewhere to make memories together. While travelling with kids can be tough, Buenos Aires makes it easy. It has great, child-friendly places to stay, colourful neighbourhoods, and enough attractions to fill a week.
Also, it is easy to get around and lacks the somewhat rough reputation of other cities again, looking at you, Rio! Buenos Aires with kids is an adventure waiting to happen; get ready to discover this magnificent city together!
Flying into BA is like flying into any major city. Ezeiza International Airport is reasonably easy to navigate, even with jet-lagged kids! It is about a minute drive into the main city. If you are flying in internally from the likes of Iguazu Falls or Bariloche, you may be flying into Jorge Newbery Airport.
It feels unusual to have an airport like this so close to the city centre, but it is comparatively small, with only 16 gates. If the traffic is good, then you can be in the centre of town from here in around 20 mins. If you are flying out of Jorge Newbery, be warned that it has very little space to drop people off. Our Uber driver solved this by simply blocking all the traffic until we had our bags, but this is not recommended!
