Transportation from the City Center to Managua Augusto C. Sandino International Airport

You can go to the airport by any taxi you can take from the street, or you can ask your hotel to call a taxi for you. But it is absolutely necessary to agree on the price up front because taxi drivers in Nicaragua try to charge higher fees than tourists.

Public transport in Nicaragua is not very clean and comfortable, nor is it very punctual. Therefore, if you need to catch the plane urgently, it is not a very reliable method.
