Transportation
Getting to and from the airport
Shuttle ($12 | 1h15mins to the city) This is the most common way travelers get to Antigua if they don't want to pay for a taxi. Several companies operate regular minivan shuttles, you'll find several kiosks for these shuttles after clearing customs. If your flight lands after 8PM, you'll have to get a taxi.
Taxi ($35 | 1h to the city) Travelers usually get an Uber.
Taxi apps
Local public transportation app
There are no local public transport apps, buses generally do not run on a set schedule. Instead, they wait at the station until they are full before leaving.
Motorbike, bicycle & scooter rental
Simoon Rentals & Tours — One of the most recommended rental shops.
Traveling outside the city
There is no existing train system in Guatemala but you can take one of the numerous shuttles to travel outside the city. Taxis are also a great way to move around if your budget is bigger and you want to be more comfortable.
