Transportation from City Center to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport
There are transportation options such as Lyon express tram, train, shuttle buses, taxi and car rental to get to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport, which is approximately 5 km from Lyon city center.
It is possible to reach the airport in 30 minutes by using the Express tram line from the city center. It is also possible to buy tram tickets online, apart from the box office.
Those who come to the airport by train from the city center should not forget that the train station is within 5 minutes' walking distance from the airport. If you have a lot of luggage and you cannot walk, taxis can be a life saver at this point. If you want to take a taxi not only between the station and the airport but also all the way, you have to pay 50-55 euros during the day and 65-70 euros at night.
In the city where the night tariff is applied, you can reduce the price a little more by bargaining with the taxi driver.
In addition, shuttle buses serving between 06.00-23.00 are a frequently used option for transportation to the airport.
Transportation from Praia Nelson Mandela International Airport to the City Center
Praia is the capital and largest city of the Island of Santiago in Cape Verde. Founded in 1615, Praia has been the country's capital since 1770 and is located on the island's south coast. Praia, which has beautiful weather all year round, does not actually have much to visit, as most of it is a residential area.
However, the center of the city, where you will want to spend half a day before moving on to another place, is in a position overlooking the bay on the southeast of Santiago Island, and the airport is located in the northeast of Praia.
Opened in October 2005, Praia International Airport, also known as Nelson Mandela Airport, is 3 km from the city center. You can reach the city center from Praia Airport by bus and taxi. There are also passengers who prefer to walk this road. There is only one bus line from Praia Airport to the center and the number of flights is very few.
You can find taxis from the airport to Praia as soon as you exit the terminal. Taxis are also paid in Euros. Even if the taxi driver turns on the meter, it is always useful to get price information in advance.
The best option is to go to the city center from Praia Airport by a private transfer vehicle that you can book from your hotel or online. You can arrange a private transfer before your flight by making a reservation on the Dispocars phone app or on trusted websites that sell tours, such as Viator.
In addition, you can go to the city center by renting a car from the ticket offices of Intercity and Hertz companies in the arrivals terminal. In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone and make your trip on the island comfortable. Renting a car is an extremely convenient option, as Santiago's most beautiful beaches are outside of Praia city centre.
