Venue

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second largest metropolitan area in South America. Buenos Aires is a top tourist destination, and is known for its European-style architecture, rich cultural life, exquisite cuisine, legendary nightlife, and fashionable shopping. You can check out more information about what Buenos Aires has to offer at the Official Tourism Site of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

Workshop Location

The workshop will be held at the IAFE (Institute for research in Astronomy and Astrophysics.). The IAFE is located at the University of Buenos Aires Campus (“Ciudad Universitaria”)

Public Transportation

The university campus is served by several bus lines: 28, 33, 37, 42, 45, 107, 160 . Some buses end their route before reaching the University campus. Only those with a special sign “Ciudad Universitaria” behind the windshield serve the Workshop site. You should step down from the bus at the first stop inside campus. All bus routes end at their third stop inside campus.

The bus fare must be paid aboard using a card called “SUBE” that you can acquire (and charge with credit) in the metro stations or some post offices.

Please, bear in mind that at rush hours the trip to the campus may last an hour.

Arrival

Most international flights arrive at the Ezeiza International Airport, while domestic flights arrive at Aeroparque.

A bus company (Manuel Tienda Leon) offers transportation to downtown Buenos Aires and the ride takes about 40 minutes. There are also public transportation buses that serve downtown Buenos Aires at a cheaper rate, but we do not recommend it if you carry a significant amount of luggage.
