Transportation from the City Center to Conakry Airport
Conakry, the capital of Guinea, is also the economic and commercial center of the country. There are natural beauties to see such as Soumba Waterfall and Atoll Island around Conakry, which is a very lively city with its nightlife and university.
Since there is no bus or train line to reach Conakry Ahmed Sekou Toure International Airport from the city center, the best option is to take a taxi. If you request from your hotel, they will call a taxi for you. You can also find a taxi from the street in the city center, but you must confirm the price before you start your journey. It is also recommended not to take a taxi from the street for safety reasons. Street protests are frequent, along with cases where travelers have their wallets and suitcases stolen in the past.
In addition, some minibus type vehicles departing from the city center carry passengers to a location close to the airport. After getting off on the main street, you have to walk to the airport. These minibuses serve until 18:00 during the day. However, you decide how attractive the option of taking the minibus with your belongings is.
It is also possible to go to Conakry Airport, 13 km from the city center, by private transfer. The vehicles that you can arrange from reliable tour companies or from your hotel and book in advance take you from the city center to Conakry Airport.
Prices may vary depending on vehicle type and number of people. When making such a reservation, specifying your flight number and time in advance will prevent possible confusion.
