Moreno

Introduction

Moreno is a city in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, and serves as the head town of Moreno Partido. It sits within the Greater Buenos Aires urban conurbation, roughly 36 km (22 mi) west of the autonomous city of Buenos Aires.

Use Moreno as a base for exploring the western edge of the conurbation, or as a stop on your way between the capital and the surrounding province.

Getting around

Moreno sits west of Buenos Aires, and the practical question is how to move between the two and how to get around once you arrive. The main options are straightforward: trains, buses, and taxis or remises. The Sarmiento line, run by Trenes Argentinos, connects Once station in Buenos Aires with Moreno station, with services roughly every fifteen minutes daily and a journey of around an hour and ten minutes; you can choose between Local, Primera, and Pullman classes, and you should buy tickets through the official channels. Buses, known locally as colectivos, are often the faster public option: a direct service runs from Jujuy Av. in Buenos Aires to Colectora Acc. Oeste y Av. Victorica in Moreno roughly every fifteen minutes, every day, taking about forty-seven minutes. An alternative routing via Independencia Av. and Avenida Rivadavia, with a transfer onward to Hospital Moreno, takes around two hours in total. Bus fares depend on whether your SUBE card is registered or unregistered, so sort out your card before you travel.

If you would rather go door to door, taxis and remises are widely used, and driving between Buenos Aires and Moreno takes roughly half an hour in normal conditions, with a taxi on the same route taking a similar amount of time; booking by phone with a local operator is the most dependable approach, particularly if you are arriving late or carrying luggage. Within Moreno, the same bus network that links the city to the capital also serves local movement, and the train station acts as a natural anchor for the centre. Walking is practical in the central area around the station and main avenues, while for anything further out, or when you are short on time, taxis and remises are the simplest fallback. Keep the Trenes Argentinos ticket channels handy if you plan to travel back and forth to Buenos Aires, and save a couple of taxi or remis numbers in your phone before you need them.
