Where is El Monumental and how do you get there?

The Mâs Monumental stadium is located in the Núñez neighborhood, in the northern part of Buenos Aires. The exact address is Av. Pres. Figueroa Alcorta 7597, just a few blocks from Udaondo and Av. del Libertador.

Best ways to get to River Plate stadium

Public transportation

Public transport is an excellent way to reach the stadium, particularly if you’re staying in tourist-friendly areas. Some of the most recommended options include:

• Mitre Train (Retiro – Tigre branch): get off at Belgrano C station and walk about 8 blocks to the stadium. This is one of the most direct, safe, and efficient ways to travel from downtown Buenos Aires.

• City buses: these lines get you close to El Monumental from different parts of the city:

          Line 29: from La Boca, passing through downtown and Palermo.
          Line 42: connects Chacarita, Palermo, and Belgrano.
          Line 130: runs through southern and northern neighborhoods, including Retiro.
  

Use apps like BA Cómo Llego or Google Maps to check real-time routes and timetables.

Taxi or rideshare apps

Taking a taxi or using apps like Uber, Cabify, or Didi is a convenient and safe option—especially if you’re traveling in a group or heading to a night game. From Palermo or Recoleta, the ride typically takes 20 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic.

Can you drive to the Mâs Monumental stadium?

Yes, but it's not the most convenient option. On matchdays, many streets around the stadium are closed and parking is limited. If you decide to drive, it’s best to park further away and walk the remaining distance.
