If you arrive in arrive in Buenos Aires, in the International Airport of Ezeiza (or Franco Pistarini), there are basically three ways to go to Rosario, described below. The organizers strongly recommend to take the first one of the three options. You should take the first option (Manuel Tienda León's buses), unless you have your own reasons to take the second or the third. More information follows.

  1. Take (at the airport) one bus of the company named Manuel Tienda León.

    Manuel Tienda Leon is a door-to-door service and is not much more expensive than the other two alternatives. door-to-door means that you take the bus at the airport and you get off from the bus in the address you want to go in Rosario (the bus left you in your door, not in the bus station or something. You don't need to take any taxi neither to go from the airport to Buenos Aires nor to go from the bus station in Rosario to the center of the city).

    We strongly recommend you to take this option, because in this way you avoid going to the center of Buenos Aires, taking taxis, etc. Is is not only faster than buses, it is also much more secure.

    Manuel Tienda León has offices at the airport. You can buy your ticket when you arrive in the airport, or, if you prefer, you can do a reservation throw internet.

  2. Take a domestic flight from Buenos Aires to Rosario

    This option seems faster than the first one, but is not so much faster, and is really much more expensive. By other hand, the domestic flights from Buenos Aires to Rosario don't departs from the airport of Ezeiza. If you want to go to Rosario by plane, you should go first to the other airport of Buenos Aires, called Aeropuerto Jorge Newbery. So the time and the cost that this option is going to consume is the sum of the three times and costs that the three parts (Ezeiza - Jorge Newbery), (Jorge Newbery - Airport of Rosario), (Airport of Rosario - Center of Rosario). The option, at the end, is not much faster than Manuel Tienda León, and the cost is really much more.

  3. Take a bus from Buenos Aires's bus station to Rosario's bus station

    This option seems cheaper than the first one but at the end is not so much cheaper. If you consider that the cost is going to be the sum of the three costs (Ezeiza - Buenos Aires' bus Station), (Buenos Aires' bus Station - Rosario Bus Station), (Rosario Bus Station - Center of Rosario), the cost is similar to the cost of Manuel Tienda León. Manuel Tienda León is going to be really faster than this option, much more safe, and the cost is not going to be so different. So take this option only if you have any other reason to do that.
