BJX is the more commonly used airport to get to San Miguel de Allende. It is referred to as Guanajuato International Airport as well as Bajío/León Airport. It is about 1.5 hours outside of San Miguel de Allende. QRO, Querétaro International Airport is a similar distance away from San Miguel de Allende at about 1.5 hours outside of the city. FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE CITY Once you’ve landed in Mexico, we would recommend reserving a shuttle bus or coordinating with your hotel beforehand for a taxi. Shuttle busses will cost approximately $30-$40 USD per person, while taxis (depending on how many people in the taxi) will range from $70-$120 USD per person. For a reliable shuttle bus to transport you from the airport to the city, we would recommend www.bajiogo.com

RENTAL CARS Are not necessary :) San Miguel is a beautiful small city with cobble stone streets, so walking is the preferred method of transportation. While you will need a car to get into the city; once you are in the city, you’ll find that parking is very difficult and driving on narrow, cobble stone streets is just not fun. Enjoy exploring on your feet! --- HOTELS When choosing a hotel, I would recommend staying in the city center of San Miguel de Allende. You can use La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel as a reference point to the center of the city.
