The easiest way to reach downtown Buenos Aires from the Mural de Messi is via the Linea 2 subway, heading to Carlos Jáuregui or Palermo stations, then transferring to central destinations like Plaza de Mayo or Retiro, taking only about 20 minutes. Alternatively, use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Cabify, which take around 15 minutes and cost approximately $30–40 ARS.
For a scenic option, walk west along Avenida Santa Fe, passing through Parque Chacabuco and enjoying lush greenery and street art en route to Recoleta, a journey of about 30 minutes. Along the way, you’ll pass the Buenos Aires Botanical Garden, perfect for a relaxed stroll.
Unique travel experiences include renting a BikeShare bike to cycle through the Palermo Parks, or joining a nighttime city tour bus that departs from the mural, showcasing illuminated historic districts and modern urban landscapes.
