How to get to Recoleta Cemetery from your accommodation
When deciding how to get to Recoleta Cemetery, use Junín 1760 in Buenos Aires as your destination. This is the cemetery entrance; the neighboring Pilar basilica has a separate address, Junín 1898. Start with the place where you are staying and choose between the metro, a taxi and a booked cemetery visit that includes hotel transfer.
Keep arrival in Buenos Aires separate from the sightseeing journey. An airport transfer takes you to your accommodation, while a cemetery tour with hotel pickup is a booked activity. The accommodation guide compares locations around Recoleta, including Las Heras and the streets near the cemetery, so you can consider your base alongside transport.
Taxi and transfers from Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP)
If you arrive at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, plan your taxi or prebooked transfer to your accommodation in Buenos Aires. For the airport transfer route, the destination is Buenos Aires; supply the full accommodation address during booking. Once you have reached your base, arrange the onward journey to Junín 1760 as a separate part of the visit.
Ezeiza (EZE) is the international airport alternative in your arrival planning. Match transport to the airport shown on your flight reservation and to the accommodation address. Avoid committing a cemetery activity immediately after an arrival based only on a road journey estimate. Allow for the full arrival process and select a sightseeing time that fits the tourist visiting window.
Reserve your transfer from Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP) in advance on Kiwitaxi.

A cemetery visit with hotel transfer
The three-hour private cemetery option includes admission, a guide in the chosen language and return transfer from your Buenos Aires accommodation. This is a booked sightseeing visit, separate from airport arrival.
Metro Line H: Las Heras and Facultad de Derecho
Las Heras and Facultad de Derecho are both on Line H. Use your accommodation as the starting point in a current journey planner and compare the route through each station. Las Heras is a useful reference for the cemetery approach. From the station, continue on foot toward the entrance at Junín 1760, keeping the actual entrance address as the end of your route.
The station information lists facilities at these stops, including a SUBE sales point at Facultad de Derecho. If you need step-free travel, review lift service and the walking route for your travel day. A station's accessibility designation and the conditions of the whole journey are different planning questions. Choose the route that suits your mobility requirements, including the final approach outside the station.
Bus, taxi and the final approach on foot
For a bus journey, enter your exact starting point and the cemetery address into current local transport information. Review the direction, boarding stop and stop for leaving the bus together. A route number alone is less useful than a complete journey matched to where you are staying. Read the current fare and service information for that journey rather than budgeting from a general city example.
With a taxi, give the driver the cemetery name and Junín 1760. With a guided walk, use the meeting point in the booking instead: a guide may start somewhere other than the entrance. Leave time for the final approach and admission arrangements. If you are driving independently, arrange parking separately and review the chosen garage's access and terms.
The three-hour cemetery visit with hotel pickup
The private cemetery product offers a three-hour option with return transfer and pickup and drop-off at your Buenos Aires accommodation. Cemetery entry tickets and a licensed guide speaking the language chosen when booking are included. This particular option focuses on the cemetery; museum admission belongs to the longer four- and five-hour options. Select the three-hour visit if hotel transport is part of your plan.
Use the private tour comparison for the other cemetery formats. If you prefer to reach Recoleta yourself and meet a guide, compare the guided walks. The choice is between independent travel followed by an activity and a visit organized with return hotel transport. Neither requires treating an airport arrival as a tour meeting point.
Dated traffic measures and the visiting window
For travel planned in November 2026, the city announced progressive full closures on Avenida del Libertador between Olleros and Ugarteche from 4 to 14 November 2026. Measures around the Nunciature and bus diversions concern the visit period from 8 to 11 November 2026. These are dated road measures: review the route for your day rather than interpreting them as cemetery closure hours.
Tourist access is daily from 09:00 to 17:00 in the information reviewed on 11 November 2026. Coordinate the full activity duration with that window. Before setting out, consult the admission and opening hours guide, then leave the rest of your neighborhood visit flexible around your chosen cemetery time.
