Travel to Buenos Aires by Bus

Travelling by long-distance coach is one of the most popular and accessible ways to reach Buenos Aires from anywhere in the country or from neighbouring countries. Argentina has one of the most developed bus transport networks in Latin America, with comfortable, frequent services at very competitive prices. Long-distance coaches offer different categories of service — cama (fully reclining), semi-cama and executive — making overnight journeys a comfortable and practical option.

Retiro Bus Terminal

The Retiro Bus Terminal is the largest in Argentina and one of the most important in South America. It is located in the Retiro neighbourhood, alongside the railway station of the same name and just steps from the city centre, making it an extraordinarily well-connected transport hub.

The terminal operates around the clock and is served by more than 70 transport companies covering destinations throughout the country and in neighbouring countries including Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru. Hundreds of services arrive and depart every day to and from every Argentine province.
