Flights from a variety of US, Canadian, and, of course, Mexican destinations arrive and depart from GDL, located about 11 miles from the city centre. If flying directly from Europe, Madrid is the only city that offers this service. This means flying from the UK or any other European destination requires a connecting flight to Guadalajara from Madrid.
It is relatively easy to navigate Guadalajara as it is so well connected; options include MiBici, a government initiative that aims to promote sustainable mobility within the city, with 236 bicycle rental stations in the main tourist areas. If cycling isn’t your thing, try Mi Macro, a rapid bus transportation system that crosses the city. Furthermore, each station is accessible to people with disabilities.
Known colloquially as the Tren Ligero, the Guadalajara Urban Electric Train is a metropolitan rail collective currently operating with three lines running from north to south, central to east, and northwest to southeast.
Alternatively, private transportation companies such as Uber, Cabify, and Didi Chuxing operate within the city. Walking is also an excellent way to see the many sights on offer, and some of the best things to do are in the pedestrian-friendly city centre, which has a grid system downtown to make it easier to find your way around.
