Bus

The long-distance bus terminal (437-3030; www.terminalrosario.com.ar, in Spanish; Cafferata & Santa Fe) is 25 blocks west of the center. From downtown, any bus along Santa Fe will do the trick.

Rosario is a major transport hub and there are direct daily services to nearly all major destinations, including international services to Paraguay, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.

Manuel Tienda de León (0810-888-5366; www.tiendaleon.com.ar; Santa Fe 842) offers a direct service to and from Buenos Aires’ international airport for AR$90. It does hotel pickups.

Train

From Rosario Norte train station (430-7272; Av del Valle 2700), unreliable services to Buenos Aires (AR$33, six hours) leave at 5:15am Monday to Friday, returning at 6:05pm.
