    You're going to a game at River Plate as I recall anyway. Best suggestion is to visit on a weekday for the stadium tour. They have a shop in there at the end of the tour where you can buy whatever you want. I did the tour November 2022 when the stadium was a building site and not the best time to do it. Your visit will be better.

    By the by, the walk up to the stadium from Belgrano is really nice. You walk by lots of nice family homes if that;s of interest as it was to me.

    hi

    Yes game is on sunday we arrive tommorow, think we are walking through the neighbourhood of nunez and into the stadium

    My airbnb host has recommended an adidas shop 10 min walk from palermo hollywood, or just buy a knock off on the day off the street near the stadium

    BA keep messing with the route. I believe it's to do with lack of aircraft and crew.

    My Flightradar app says you're departing on time. Flight BA249. Happy flying @TravelAddict


    And the other question about Taxi Ezeiza accepting USD, yes they will.

    I always get the bus. But you have to be prepared for all eventualities in Argentina. Like not being able to take the bus for example. Which is what happened to me on 15 February 2023 when I arrives from Madrid. And hence I had to take a taxi

    As a single traveler I always took public transport but when I have the boss and the heir to the throne with me, I always splash out for a taxi or an Uber

    Yip , I have my driver who lives down the road . He will quite me a week before the trip and we have an agreement of petrol prices go up in the interim , we requote the fee.

    He normally works out about 50% below Taxi Ezeiza , who are my favorites if my carefully arranged plans go belly up.

Thank you for the support!
