Transportation to Airport from Ganja City Center
Ganja Intl. Airport
Known as one of the most crowded cities of Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region, Ganja is an ancient city with structures from the fifth century. Ganja, the second largest city in Azerbaijan, contains many historical sites such as the tomb of the famous Central Asian poet Nizami. This city opens its doors to travelers from the world with Ganja International Airport.
Although Ganja is among the most crowded cities of Azerbaijan, the surface area is much smaller and the population ratio is quite low compared to many cities. The city center is the area around the square hosting the statue of Leader Heydar Allyvev. This statue is surrounded by state buildings as well as a large park.
There are not many public transport vehicles that serve in the city. The most economical way to go around the city is to take a bus station from the central bus station close to the city center or to travel with minibuses that provide transportation services to many parts of the city. Unfortunately, trolleybuses and trams, which have a long history in urban transportation, do not operate today. You may only come across trolleybuses that serve some parts of the city, especially at times when traffic is intense, at some time.
Apart from all these, you can rent a car or take a taxi if you want to have a more practical and comfortable journey in the city. There are also people in town who agree to share a taxi cab, so you can consider this option for a more economical journey.
It is possible to travel to the neighboring cities or Georgia by trains from the central train station after your flight lands. The public transport system in Ganja is not very efficient. Nevertheless, as in all other Azerbaijani cities, in Ganja , transportation to airports, railways and tourist areas is often served by public transport. To go to Ganja International Airport from the city center, you can take a bus, take a taxi or rent a car.
Bus
If you are planning to go to the airport by public transport, you have to come to the city center first. There are many buses to the airport that depart from the city center and these buses have very frequent intervals and their fees are very reasonable. You can reach the airport in about half an hour by these buses.
When you arrive at the airport, you will arrive at the terminal as soon as you pass through the parking area. Apart from these, if you come to Ganja International Airport from Baku and Goranboy cities, you can come to Ganja by using intercity buses that depart from these cities. These buses operate from early hours in the morning until afternoon, departing every half an hour, or every hour.
Buses are the option most used in the city along with minibuses. Buses operate frequently also to various parts of the city.
Minibus
There is no access to the airport with minibuses. Still, you can take the minibuses to get to the buses that take you to the airport. Apart from this, minibuses are a popular public transport vehicle that serves to every region of the city at frequent intervals. The fees are also quite affordable.
Train

Car Rental
