If you visit Guatemala, you will surely arrive at La Aurora International Airport located in the business center of the great capital of Guatemala, the largest city in Central America.

The best areas of the city are located around the airport.
In this guide, I will tell you the best way to get to the beautiful colonial city of Antigua Guatemala from the Guatemala City airport or its surroundings.

The distance between Guatemala City and La Antigua is 45 kilometers (28 miles)
The trip takes between 1 to 2 hours depending on traffic.
Rush hours are Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm and Saturday at noon.
Main ways to get to Antigua Guatemala
If you are looking to save money you can take the shared Shuttle from the Airport. There are several companies that offer the service that costs around $ 15 USD per person. Unfortunately, the service does not operate all day, but the hours vary according to the demand of passengers. You may have to wait a few hours for the next shuttle to depart.
Another option is Uber, the rates range from $ 25 to $ 35 USD and it works quite well, just keep in mind that most vehicles are small (hatchback type) and space is limited for luggage and passengers.
You can also use the Airport Taxi, you can find them at the exit door. They charge $ 35 USD and will take you safely to your final destination in Antigua Guatemala.
If you want to travel safely, I recommend private transportation.
It is more comfortable and safe service, they use tourist transport with large vehicles and professional drivers. The price can cost between $ 40 and $ 60 USD, depending on the number of passengers. They will greet you with a sign at the exit of the airport and they will offer you stops along the way to enjoy the tour to the fullest.
