So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
Yes. If your travel plans take you between Buenos Aires and a destination further southeast, La Plata sits naturally along or near many routes and can be added as a sightseeing stop rather than treated as a separate trip. Daytrip allows you to build stops into your transfer, so you can spend a few hours exploring the cathedral, the Le Corbusier house, or Paseo del Bosque before continuing onward β without the inefficiency of backtracking or booking a separate vehicle.
La Plata sits approximately 60 km (37 miles) southeast of central Buenos Aires. A private transfer typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic and your exact pickup and drop-off points. That ease of access makes La Plata one of the most underused day trips from the Argentine capital β a city with genuine architectural ambition and deep history, reachable in less time than many Buenos Aires residents spend commuting across their own city.
A well-paced day of 5 to 7 hours covers the essential ground comfortably. The cathedral and Plaza Moreno take an hour to explore properly, Casa Curutchet is a short walk away and worth at least 45 minutes, and Paseo del Bosque alone can fill most of an afternoon if you include the natural history museum. The city is compact enough that you won't lose time to long transfers between sights β the bigger risk is underestimating how much there is to see and rushing the back half of the day.
Yes, and walking is genuinely the best way to experience it. The planned grid makes navigation straightforward, and the diagonal avenues create natural routes that connect the city's main squares and landmarks without forcing unnecessary detours. The area around the central plaza is walkable and pleasant, and Paseo del Bosque is designed for unhurried strolling. Having a private Daytrip transfer handle the Buenos Aires-to-La Plata journey means you arrive with full energy rather than having navigated buses or trains β a meaningful difference when most of your day is spent on foot.
The Catedral de La Plata is the natural anchor for any visit β a Neo-Gothic cathedral of striking scale that dominates the central square and ranks among the most ambitious ecclesiastical buildings in Latin America. Casa Curutchet, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designed by Le Corbusier, is a must for architecture enthusiasts: the only building Le Corbusier designed in the Americas, and a quiet landmark that looks almost out of place in the best possible way. Paseo del Bosque, the city's main green space, holds the Museo de La Plata β one of the finest natural history museums on the continent β alongside a zoo, an astronomical observatory, botanical gardens, and a lake where you can rent a boat.
La Plata is one of a kind in South America β a fully planned city, designed from scratch in 1882 by urban planner Pedro Benoit under the commission of Governor Dardo Rocha. The grid is overlaid with two main diagonal avenues that cross the entire city from corner to corner, earning it the nickname "City of Diagonals." Freemason symbolism is woven throughout the street layout and architecture, with Italian and German influences adding further texture. The result is a city that rewards walkers who pay attention β the geometry reveals itself gradually, block by block.
