Transportation to Airport from Cairo City Center
Cairo Intl. Airport
There are different options to reach the airport from the city center in Cairo, visited by many tourists every year. The services that the hotels usually offer or arrange for you and public transport are the first ones that come to mind.
Airport Transfer
Transfer vehicles that are privately rented from Cairo International Airport and shuttles of the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus company will pick you up at your requested destination upon your telephone and internet reservation. You can reach the airport from any point of the city by using the shuttles, whose fares are changing according to the region you take it.
Airport transfers also include London-style taxis, limousines and luxurious midibuses. All you have to do is to make reservations and be at the place where you want the cars to pick you up.
Public Transport
It will be possible to reach the airport with the subway lines passing through Zamalek, Wasat Al-Balad and the Nile's eastern region, which we refer to as the center of Cairo, in a few years, but you can only reach the areas close by at the moment. Al Dock, Opera, Sedat (Tahrir) and Naguib are the metro stations close to the center.
You need to transfer to the Green Line at Attaba station from Yellow Line, which hosts the above mentioned stations.
Even if it does not reach the airport yet, you can get off at the Abbasiye station and complete the 15 kilometers distance by taxi or bus number 111. It is also possible to reach the airport by buses 27, 111, 356 from Tahrir Square where Sedat metro station is located.
Private Vehicle
Although it is a great merit to use private vehicles in Cairo, which is similar to Istanbul with regards to its traffic and size, there may be people who want to reach the airport by private vehicles. To do this, you have to follow the Oroba road, in the east direction, to go to the airport from Zamalek island and Tahrir in the city center.
Oroba route will take you to Airport Road, which will provide you with access to the airport, after 17 kilometers.
Airport Information

Transportation to Bari City Center from Airport
Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport
Bari, which is located in the southeast of Italy, is also home to one of the most important ports of the region. The city accepted as the second largest city of Southern Italy after Napoli, has a very important place in both maritime and aerial transportation. The airport is very close to the city which is known with its small square and the world-famous cathedral.
The airport which is 8 kilometers of the city center also known as Karol Wojtyla or Palese Airport. Although the construction of the airport began in 1930s and was used for military purposes, today it has an important place for the tourism in the region. At the airport, there are restaurants and cafes where you can taste the famous delicacies of Italy, stores for those who want to do some shopping and car rental offices for those who want to continue with their travel with a private car.
At the bank branch found at the airport, you can perform many banking transactions including money transfers and foreign exchange transactions or you can use ATMs in the terminal.
There are different alternatives that you can spend time before and after your flight at the airport, which also has a private passenger lounge where you can have a good time before your travel and enjoy various tasty treats. There is also a parking area at the airport for passengers arriving with their cars.
There are many alternatives to get to the city center. To reach the city center from the airport, you can use the taxis waiting in front of the terminal, get on a bus or rent a car. Once you arrive at the city center by bus or taxi, you can continue your travel from the train station to different regions and cities located near the city.
Taxi
Your first transportation alternative to get to the city center from Bari Airport, which is also known as Palese Airport due to the region it is located in, is taxi. You can be in the city center in about 25 minutes by getting on a taxi waiting in front of the airport terminal building. There are two taxi companies offering service in Bari as Radio Taxi and EuroTaxi. Taxi fares are generally similar, but you will have to pay more during the weekends, on holidays and late hours of the night. Also remember that you will have to pay an extra amount for travelling with more than 4 people for your baggage.
Although taxi is a much more expensive alternative than other vehicles, especially buses, they are commonly preferred by passengers who have heavy baggage. Another advantage of taxi is that it takes you to your hotel or destination in a short time and leave you just in front of the door so you will not have to walk.
You have to make sure that the taxi you are getting on for reaching the city center is licensed. In fact, there are also taxis that offer service unofficially in the city, and these demand higher amounts from their customers.
To distinguish the licensed vehicles from others, keep in mind that taxis in the city are usually yellow and white, and there are license numbers on the glass in front of the driver. Another thing you need to be careful about when going to the city center by taxi is that the taximeter is open.
Sometimes taxi drivers may not want to run taximeters by telling you that they are out of order, but you can still insist on this or get on a different taxi.
Bus
In Bari, you can also add buses to the options for getting to the city center from the airport. Bus stands out as the most economical transportation alternative. Bus route 16 carries passengers to the central parts of Bari, including Aldo Moro Square. In addition, the train station is very close to this square. By transferring to the trains, you can visit nearby places and other destinations.
Buses, also known as AMTB in the city, arrive at the city center at the end of a travel of about 40 minutes from the center. Bus is a more economical option even if it takes longer to arrive at the city center. You can get to the city center by using these buses which operate from 05:00 pm to 09:30 pm.
You can also travel with Tempesta which is another bus company. This is a faster but slightly more expensive option than the other. Tempesta buses take you to the center of Bari in about 25-30 minutes. From Bari Airport, you can also travel to other airports near the city and to the port. It is very easy to get to the other airports which are close to the city with the buses operating more frequently during the summer months. From Bari Port, you can get on the ferries for going to cities like Dubrovnik and Kotor.
Train
Unlike most European cities, transportation between the city center and the airport cannot be provided by trains. For this reason, it is not possible to reach the city center directly from the airport by trains. However, you can arrive at the train station located in the city center by using the buses and from there you can travel to different regions by train.
The city center is 8 kilometers of the airport and this distance makes it difficult to travel between these two places with trains.
Car Rental
You can rent a car to travel between the city center and the airport or to visit nearby places during your visit. This one of the most comfortable options. You can rent any car you want from one of the car rental companies AVIS, Hertz, Europcar and Alamo. In this way, you can freely and comfortably travel to wherever you want without depending on any public transportation vehicle or taxi.
At the airport, you can easily find the offices of the car rental companies and rent any car you want. If you wish, you can rent your online before your travel and when you arrive at the airport, you can receive your car and take the road to the city center. If you don’t have much information about the roads in the city, you can take a navigation or map with you.
Limousine
Luxury vehicles, which are usually preferred by those visiting the city for business purpose, are also among the options you can use to travel between the airport and the city center. Also in Bari like many other cities, the cost of renting a limousine and luxury vehicle is much higher than the other alternatives, but you can choose this option if you want to travel more comfortably.
Moreover, limousines offering service with private drivers are extremely comfortable for crowded families traveling with their children.
Hotel Shuttle
In Bari, you can also use hotel shuttles to get to the center of the city from the airport. Some hotels in the city offer airport shuttle transfer service for their guests. Not every hotel has this service. You can make a reservation by contacting your hotel before the travel to take advantage of the airport transfer service. Some hotels offer this service for free.
You can be in the city center within a short time thanks to the airport shuttle service, which is accepted as one of the most comfortable transportation alternatives for the people visiting the city for the first time.
