The biggest airport in Argentina is Ministro Pistarini International Airport, Ezeiza (EZE), located 32km from the centre of Buenos Aires city. Most long-haul international flights arrive and depart from here, along with some domestic and regional flights. The journey from the airport to the centre of the city takes about 50 minutes.

¿Qué será Buenos Aires?
Es la Plaza de Mayo a la que volvieron, después de haber guerreado en el continente, hombres cansados y felices.
Es el dédalo creciente de luces que divisamos desde el avión y bajo el cual están la azotea, la vereda, el último patio, las cosas quietas...
Es un gran árbol de la calle Junín que, sin saberlo, nos depara sombra y frescura.
Es una larga calle de casas bajas, que pierde y transfigura el poniente.
Es la Dársena Sur de la que zarpaban el Saturno y el Cosmos.
Es la vereda de Quintana en la que mi padre, que había estado ciego, lloró porque veía las antiguas estrellas.
Es una puerta numerada, detrás de la cual, en la oscuridad, pasé diez días y diez noches, inmóvil, días y noches que no son en la memoria un instante.
Es el jinete de pesado metal que proyecta desde lo alto su serie cíclica de sombras.
Es el mismo jinete bajo la lluvia...
Es el día en que dejamos a una mujer y el día en que una mujer nos dejó...
Es, en la deshabitada noche, cierta esquina del Once en la que Macedonio Fernández, que ha muerto, sigue explicándome que la muerte es una falacia...
Buenos Aires es la otra calle, la que no pisé nunca, es el centro secreto de las manzanas, los patios últimos, es lo que las fachadas ocultan, es mi enemigo, si lo tengo, es la persona a quien le desagradan mis versos (a mí me desagradan también), es la modesta librería en que acaso entramos y que hemos olvidado, es esa racha de milonga silbada que no reconocemos y que nos toca, es lo que se ha perdido y lo que será, es lo ulterior, lo ajeno, lo lateral, el barrio que no es tuyo ni mío, lo que ignoramos y queremos.
Buenos Aires. Jorge Luis Borges, 1923
Accommodation and transportation
Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan city, welcoming international tourists and offering options for all budgets.
It is also a very large city, both in population and area. Each neighborhood has its own distinct character: some are more residential, others more commercial, some are office districts, there's a bustling down town that comes alive during the day and quiets down at night, and a charming historic district. All these areas offer hotels and short-term rentals, bars and restaurants, grocery stores and large supermarkets. However, it's important to consider travel times and distances to the conference venue, as traffic during peak hours can be stressful.
Public transportation includes a dense bus network and a less extensive subway and suburban train system. All modes of public transport are paid for using electronic payment methods and/or easily obtainable and user-friendly rechargeable cards. Taxis are available on almost every corner, and many private cars operate as ride-sharing services through apps that are available worldwide. Our recommendation for strolling the city is to use the BAEco-bici system. It's free for locals and costs a small fee for tourists. The system is operated through an official app that allows users to access bikes at over 360 stations, and you can ride safely along the city's 300+ km of dedicated bike paths.
