Guadalajara → Guadalajara Historic Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Guadalajara Airport (GDL) to Guadalajara Historic Centre costs €45 per car for 1–3 passengers and €65 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 26 km via Avenida Adolf B. Horn Jr. and Calzada Gobernador Luis C. Curiel; the drive takes about 30 min with clear roads, so plan on 30–40 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals area on the ground floor of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

The airport sits south of the city in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, on the Guadalajara–Chapala highway. The drive downtown heads north on this four-lane highway, crosses the southern ring road (Anillo Periférico) and continues through the southern districts of the metropolitan area into the historic centre. The whole trip runs on city streets and multi-lane avenues with traffic lights after the ring road, so weekday rush hours and evenings add noticeably to the journey time.

The historic centre is laid out around four squares that form a cross around the Cathedral: Plaza de Armas with the Government Palace, Plaza Guadalajara, Plaza de la Liberación by Teatro Degollado, and the Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres. East of the theatre the long pedestrian Plaza Tapatía leads to the Hospicio Cabañas, with the large San Juan de Dios market next to it. Several streets around the squares are pedestrian only, so hotels there are reached from the nearest street open to cars.

Public transport: The airport operator's ground transportation page lists no scheduled airport bus or rail link; it lists only transport service desks on the ground floor of the terminal. Getting downtown by public transport means city buses along the Chapala highway.
