If you’ve got a layover in Gobernador Gregores, don’t let it go to waste sitting at GGS. The city, in Argentina, is within easy reach — roughly 30 minutes by local transport. Whether you have four hours or twelve, here’s how to make your stopover count.
Pre-Departure Checklist
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at GGS:
First, verify that you can enter Argentina — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the local transport takes about 30 minutes into Gobernador Gregores, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — ARS is the currency here. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some ARS in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
