Flight

Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE)

EZE is the international airport in BA! There are tons of flights from Miami, Houston, LA and New York. We would recommend on leaving the US on Tuesday 10/29 to arrive in BA on Wednesday 10/30, so you have a day to recover from the flight (it's a long one!)

Hotel

Alvear Palace Hotel

A nicer option in the Recoleta neighborhood! It is a short drive from where the ceremony will be held.

Hotel

Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires

A nicer option in the Recoleta neighborhood! This is a short drive from our ceremony. This property is stunning!

Travel Note

Safety Note

While Buenos Aires is a relatively safe city, it is suffering from a major economic depression. The main type of crime here is petty theft, when you go out to eat do not keep your phone on the table, and when you are walking around do not keep your phone in your pocket.

Travel Note

Changing Money

Argentina uses the Argentine peso. We would recommend changing a small amount of cash to use for a taxi upon arrival and then when you get there find the best rate at a money changing stall. A lot of places will take major American credit cards, with the exception of American Express. Some small businesses would actually prefer if you pay in US dollars and will give you a discount if you pay in dollars. We would recommend bringing a decent amount of American dollars as this is the most effective currency there.
