Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is a sprawling city on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, composed of neighborhoods called barrios. Most of the sights of interest to visitors are located near the city center, where shopping, nightlife, restaurants, hotels, civic and historic buildings attract both the residents of Buenos Aires who refer to themselves as porteños, or port people, and the visitor who visit the city as part of their extended travels in the country.
Buenos Aires has two airports. Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarni, Ezeiza, services most international flights, and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, Aeroparque, services domestic and regional flights.
Local buses serve both Ezeiza and Aeroparque airports. Ezeiza is 35km (22mi) and 1.5 hours south of downtown, allowing for traffic conditions. Aeroparque is only 8km (5mi) north of downtown. Deluxe buses make the journey to both airports for a higher fare than local buses, but often include hotel drop-offs.
