Buenos Aires is a vast cosmopolitan city built in the classical Spanish style, with the Plaza de Mayo at its heart. This central square is famous for its stately 19th century façades and is a popular gathering place for citizens in the evenings. The presidential palace is one of the big attractions, along with the 1908 Opera House. The MALBA Museum has a nice collection of Latin American art, and the best place for shopping is the pedestrianised Feria de San Telmo.
Arriving in Buenos Aires
Ezeiza is part of the huge city of Buenos Aires, and the location of the main airport serving the city. Book a flight to Ezeiza with Qatar Airways and you arrive in a vibrant, energetic and typically South American city with all the colour, noise and brashness that goes with this complex location.
Across Buenos Aires there are hundreds of sites to explore. The city is divided into Districts, so it’s best to plan your visit carefully so that you get the most from your trip. What you will find wherever you go in Buenos Aires and Ezeiza in particular is that the people are incredibly friendly and eager to show you the very best of their city.
Tourist attractions
Ezeiza is primarily the location of the airport and much of Buenos Aires industrial heartland, including newly developed areas for its growing high-tech industries. This attracts business travellers from all over the world, but if you want to see the old Buenos Aires then head into the city centre. The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is the country’s most important arts museum and has works of international significance in its galleries.
The Manzana de las Luces is Buenos Aires’ key centre for culture and learning, and is home to workshops and the fascinating tunnels and underground network of workshops that have been in use since the 18th century.
You cannot experience Buenos Aires without the Tango – the legendary dance invented in the city. The best place to see an authentic Tango (rather than one that has been adapted for the tourists) is at a ‘Milonga’. Head to the Salon Canning, El Beso, Porteño y Bailarin and the Maldita Milonga for the best dancers, or pick up a guide map called the TangoMap Guide to find one in the area near you.
Two hugely popular sports in Argentina are football and polo. Their two football teams, the Boca Juniors and the River Plate, are followed with real passion, and tickets to their matches (known as the "Super Clasico") are the hottest tickets in town. For horse lovers the polo matches held at the polo fields in Las Canitas, especially the major December tournament, are a must see.
Travel considerations
Flights to Buenos Aires with Qatar Airways land at Ministro Pistarini International Airport, also known as Ezeiza International Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Buenos Aires please check the visa and passport requirements.
Flying from Yerevan
Passengers flying from Yerevan with Qatar Airways will depart from the rapidly expanding Zvartnots International Airport, which is an excellent starting point for any journey. Located just under 12 kilometres from the centre of Yerevan, it sits at the crossroads between two continents. Passengers will find it to be incredibly efficient and well run, staffed by friendly and welcoming professionals who go that extra mile to make the start of your trip as pleasant as possible.
Transportation and parking
The quickest and easiest way to travel from the centre of Yerevan to the airport is by taxi. These are plentiful, very affordable and can be easily arranged by your hotel reception or concierge service. Buses also run to the airport. All of the major car hire services have offices in and around Yerevan, so car hire is a popular alternative. However, if you are arriving at the airport by car then bear in mind that parking is somewhat limited, with short-term provision for up to 600 vehicles. The spaces fill up very quickly, so it may be advisable to make alternative arrangements for your vehicle.
