Altos de Elorriaga: A Glimpse into 19th-Century Buenos Aires

Getting There

• Public Transport

  From the city center, take the Subte (Subway) Line A to the Piedras station. From there, it's a short walk along Adolfo Alsina to Altos de Elorriaga. A single journey on the Subte costs approximately AR$757 for registered SUBE users. You'll need a SUBE card to access the Subte, which can be purchased and topped up at Subte stations and 'kioskos' throughout the city for around AR$1.00. Alternatively, you can take the bus (colectivo). Many bus lines stop near the intersection of Adolfo Alsina and Defensa. Bus fares start at AR$270, depending on the distance. Again, a SUBE card is required.

• Walking

  Altos de Elorriaga is located in the historic Monserrat neighborhood, easily accessible on foot from many central landmarks. From Plaza de Mayo, walk south along Defensa Street for about 8 blocks. The museum will be on your left, at the intersection of Defensa and Adolfo Alsina. The walk is approximately 15 minutes.

• Taxi

  Taxis are readily available throughout Buenos Aires. A short taxi ride from the city center to Altos de Elorriaga will cost approximately ARS 5,500 to ARS 11,000, depending on traffic and time of day. Ensure the taxi driver uses the meter. Uber and Cabify are also available.
