Some things to know about visiting Buenos Aires

Immigration: A valid passport is necessary to enter the country, but you will not need a visa. However, Argentina has instituted a reciprocal fee for visitors from the US, Canada, and Australia. For Americans, the fee is $140 per person. This was done because Argentines must pay the same for visiting the US when they apply for their visa. The good news is you can come back as much as you want for the next five years. This fee is paid in the Buenos Aires airport and you can use a credit card.

Flights: The airport code for Ezeiza Airport is EZE. Prices fluctuate a bit, and direct flights are available from certain cities in the US. When planning flights it is a good idea to keep in mind that the party on Saturday night will go very late, so leaving on Sunday evening is possible, but you may be tired if you can't stay another night.

Discounted Flights: We have arranged for a discount of 5% on all flights with American Airlines, Iberia Airlines, and British Airways for people coming to the wedding. The only catch is that we need at least 10 people to take part in the offer for it to apply. Simply go to their website and enter the following promotion code: 8641DF

Arrival: From the airport, the best thing to do is hire a taxi. The cost should not exceed 200 pesos to get to the city. (Currently 1 US Dollar = 4 Pesos.) Make sure you have the address of your destination written down, including the neighborhood as most drivers do not speak English.

Hotels: The following options are the best we have uncovered for our group:

At this moment there are some very good deals via Expedia.com:
Park Chateau Unique Hotel
Park Plaza Unique Hotel
Park Elegance Unique Hotel
...all three are well located (especially the Plaza and Chateau) and this offer is going to be very hard to beat. It may be that you have to pay in advance. But the price is roughly 50% off and includes a Tango Show.

In addition you can see a list of hotels where we have arranged special prices. When contacting any of these hotels, mention our names and that you will be here for our wedding. Also make sure you are receiving the quoted price.
