Palermo is a large neighbourhood, so the price is not the same for every address. A trip to Plaza Italia may be shorter than a trip to Palermo Hollywood, Las Cañitas or the far side of Palermo Soho. The Obelisco to Palermo Taxi Fare shown by the calculator uses road distance, the selected CABA tariff and a representative destination in Palermo.
The table below shows how the Obelisco to Palermo Taxi Fare changes across a practical 5 to 7 km route range. It uses the published CABA meter values reviewed on 1 August 2026 and assumes no stopped waiting time.
Example day and night fare estimates based on road distance.
| Example Road Distance | Day Fare Estimate | Night Fare Estimate | Waiting Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 km | ARS 6,720 | ARS 8,064 | No |
| 6 km | ARS 7,680 | ARS 9,216 | No |
| 7 km | ARS 8,640 | ARS 10,368 | No |
Note: These are example distance-based estimates. Stopped waiting time and permitted additional charges are not included.
These are calculation examples, not fixed prices. Your result may be higher or lower because the exact drop-off point changes the road distance. Traffic can also add stopped minutes to the meter. Use the live result above for a more useful route estimate based on the representative destination used by this page.
A street taxi for this journey normally uses the CABA taximeter. The meter begins with the bajada de bandera, or starting fare. It then adds one ficha, or fare unit, for each 200 metres travelled. One fare unit is also added for every minute the vehicle is stopped.
| Fare Component | Day Tariff | Night Tariff |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable hours | 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. | 10:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. |
| Starting fare | ARS 1,920 | ARS 2,304 |
| Each 200 metres | ARS 192 | ARS 230.40 |
| Each stopped waiting minute | ARS 192 | ARS 230.40 |
The night rate is 20% higher and applies between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The calculator selects the correct CABA taxi tariff from the Buenos Aires date and time you enter.
A 6 km journey contains 30 distance units of 200 metres. With no stopped waiting, the day calculation is:
ARS 1,920 starting fare + (30 × ARS 192) = ARS 7,680
The same distance under the night tariff is:
ARS 2,304 starting fare + (30 × ARS 230.40) = ARS 9,216

The Obelisco to Palermo distance depends on which part of Palermo you choose. Many central destinations fall within an approximate 5 to 7 km road-distance band, but the map may return a different distance for a specific address.
The journey starts near the Obelisco at Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida Corrientes. Possible destinations include Plaza Italia, Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood, Las Cañitas and other parts of Comuna 14. These places are spread across a wide area, so “Palermo” should not be treated as one exact drop-off point.
The Obelisco to Palermo travel time can change throughout the day. Congestion, traffic lights, roadworks, events and the chosen streets can affect both the duration and the final meter reading. The route duration shown above is a planning guide, not a promised arrival time.
A taxi from Obelisco to Palermo stays within the City of Buenos Aires, so the outside-CABA return-distance rule does not apply to this route.
The calculated Obelisco to Palermo Taxi Fare is a planning estimate. The amount displayed on the taxi meter can change for several route-specific reasons.
Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood are farther west than some destinations near Avenida Santa Fe or the eastern edge of the neighbourhood. Entering a complete address helps you understand the expected Obelisco to Palermo distance and avoids comparing two different Palermo destinations.
The official meter adds one fare unit for every minute the taxi is stopped. Slow movement and stopped time are not the same, and the final amount is determined by the taximeter. The calculator does not guess how many stopped minutes will occur.
The CABA taxi tariff changes at 10:00 p.m. The 20% night increase continues until 6:00 a.m. Selecting the correct local time is important when comparing an afternoon trip with a late-night journey.
Hand luggage and one suitcase or package up to 0.90 × 0.40 × 0.30 metres are carried without an extra luggage charge under the published city rules. Each additional item may be charged at the value of five fare units. A requested stop can also add distance or stopped waiting time.
These steps make it easier to understand the Obelisco to Palermo taxi cost without treating an online estimate as a guaranteed fare.
For an example road distance of 5 to 7 km, the distance-based estimate is ARS 6,720 to ARS 8,640 during the day and ARS 8,064 to ARS 10,368 at night. Stopped waiting, the exact Palermo address and chargeable extra luggage can change the final amount.
