Getting around
Subway
The subway is the fastest way to move but Buenos Aires is not entirely connected to the subway network. If you are heading for an area where there is a subway station, take the subway. You avoid traffic jams and picket lines that are so recurrent in the city.
Getting around
Buses
Buses are the best network of Buenos Aires since they can take you to literally any place. Besides, they are the cheapest means of transport. Thera are many bus lines that you can take at the Metrobus station round the Obelisco area.
Getting around
S.U.B.E. Card
This card allows you to take any bus and the subway. You can buy at kiosks and newsstands. In the case of the apartment, just walk down the 9 de Julio subway entrance.
