Guatemala City → Guatemala City Historic Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Guatemala City Airport (GUA) to Guatemala City Historic Centre costs €40 per car for 1–3 passengers and €60 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 9 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrivals area on the first (ground) level of the La Aurora terminal, after immigration, baggage claim 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 Historic Centre in Zona 1 is the old core of Guatemala City, laid out on a grid around the Plaza de la Constitución with the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura. La Aurora airport sits in Zona 13, in the south of the city, only about 8 km away. Cars usually head north along Avenida Las Américas and Avenida La Reforma or through Zona 9 and Zona 4, then continue on the numbered avenues into Zona 1. Weekday rush hours in the morning and late afternoon slow this short drive.

Most hotels and guesthouses of the centre are within a few blocks of the main square and along Sexta Avenida, whose stretch between the plaza and 18 Calle, the Paseo de la Sexta, is a pedestrian street with shops and cafes. The Mercado Central lies behind the cathedral, and the Cerrito del Carmen hill with its old church is a short way north-east. Long-distance bus companies have their own terminals in the southern part of Zona 1. Cars can reach the streets around the square, but parts of the Sexta are closed to traffic, so drop-offs are made at the nearest corner.

Public transport: The municipal Transmetro bus network serves the city itself; reaching it from the terminal involves a walk and changes.
