How to Get from Mexico City to Guanajuato

How to Get from Mexico City to Guanajuato 2025

December 7, 2023

Traveling from Mexico City to Guanajuato? I’m a local from Guanajuato and here I’m sharing with you all the various options.

Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts a topography that seems to defy gravity, with structures intertwining, creating a living labyrinth of tunnels and alleys full of mystery and legends. Tucked away in the embrace of Mexico’s Sierra de Guanajuato mountains, this city sprawls across a network of narrow valleys and steep hillsides, creating a unique topography that adds to its undeniable charm.

Born and raised in Guanajuato, I love my city with all my heart and I highly recommend a visit whether it’s your first or hundredth time in the country. At just a 4-hour drive or 1-hour flight from Mexico City, Guanajuato is relatively easy to get to. Here’s my guide on how to get from Mexico City to Guanajuato.

Mexico City to Guanajuato Transportations

The most popular way to get from Mexico City to Guanajuato is by bus, as there are plenty of buses available and they leave regularly. They’re also very comfortable, punctual and reliable. That said, there’s also an airport in Guanajuato that’s within easy reach from the city center and flights between Mexico City and Guanajuato are affordable.

In general, there are four different ways of getting from Mexico City to Guanajuato. I am from Guanajuato and have traveled the route many times, here I’ll share the details and step-by-step instructions on each transport mode.

mexico city to guanajuato

1. Mexico City to Guanajuato Bus

Two bus companies serve the route from Mexico City to Guanajuato: ETN and Primera Plus, both have great reputations in the country. Both ETN and Primera buses depart from the Terminal Central de Autobuses del Norte. Also recognized as Central de Autobuses Guanajuato, this terminal is conveniently located just minutes away from the city center.

With multiple daily departures and comfortable seating, these buses will get you to Guanajuato in approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes. Book your seat on their respective websites.

Mexico City to Guanajuato Daily Bus Schedule

  • 6:30 am
  • 8:00 am
  • 12:00 pm
  • 3:30 pm
  • 11:45 pm

Mexico City to Guanajuato Bus Fare and Duration

The cost goes around 500 and 900 MXN (US$28 to $51) each way. I’ve used ETN and Primera many times and it’s super comfortable and safe. Their seats are wide, and perfect for a good sleep, and if you’re traveling alone and don’t want to share the seat with a stranger, there are single seats too. Plus, they have individual screens with movies and TV shows for long trips.

Is the Bus Safe?

Yes! The ETN and Primera buses are safe and punctual. They always arrive on time. You should book your tickets online so you don’t have to worry about finding available seats the moment you’re at the terminal.

2. Mexico City to Guanajuato Flight

For a quicker but pricier option, you can take a short flight from the Mexico City to Guanajuato Del Bajío International Airport. As an international airport, Guanajuato Airport serves many major cities in the US such as Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

Travel Insurance for Frequent Travelers

We’ve been using Safety Wing for years now, and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made as digital nomads. Their Nomad Insurance plan is affordable and provides solid coverage for medical emergencies regardless of where we’re traveling. 

However, only a few airlines fly direct from Mexico City to Guanajuato. If you need to fly through Monterrey or Cancun, your total flight time 4-5 hours each way. The flights are also not cheap; expect to pay around US$200 to 300 round-trip. Search for flights here.

The airport is about a 45-minute drive from Guanajuato city center. If you fly to Guanajuato airport, you can book a transfer to take you straight to your hotel. A round-trip transfer costs around US$94.

mexico city to guanajuato

Which Airlines Fly from Mexico City to Guanajuato?

Aeroméxico is the national airline of Mexico. They offer direct flights (1h45m) from Mexico City to Guanajuato, with departures every day with tickets. Search for flights here.

Volaris and Viva Aerobus also offer flights from Mexico City to Guanajuato, and they tend to be cheaper than the Aeromexico flights but they are not direct. These are budget airlines, so prepare for possible delays and cancellations.

3. Mexico City to Guanajuato by Private Transfer

Using a private transfer from Mexico City to Guanajuato is another option if you want a fast and comfortable option. There are many options offering vehicles for 3, 9, or even more passengers, and is the best choice if you’re traveling with a group. A private transfer is not the cheapest option (expect to pay at least US$250 each way) but it’s convenient and fuss-free.

This private transfer will pick you up wherever you wish in Mexico City at your chosen time by a qualified local English-speaking driver. Along the way, you can choose to stop for 2 hours at sightseeing stops listed below. The sightseeing time may be split for multiple places of your choice – it is only up to you!

Here are some places you can choose from:

  • Tepotzotlán | recommended time – 120 min
  • Tequisquiapan | recommended time – 120 min
  • Querétaro | recommended time – 120 min
  • Dolores Hidalgo| recommended time – 120 min
  • San Miguel de Allende | recommended time – 120 min

4. Mexico City to Guanajuato by Car Rental

Renting a car is a great option if you plan to do a Guanajuato road trip and drive all around the state. The Guanajuato state is packed with so many gorgeous sights and it’s worth doing a road trip here. Check my Guanajuato itinerary for ideas. 

I always book all my car rentals on DiscoverCars, as they’ve consistently given me the best rates and customer service. Plus, it’s easy to book online and there’s free cancellation. You can get a small car at Mexico City International Airport for 1,885 MXN (US$108) for a 3-day rental; note that there will be extra charges for insurance. Book your car here.

mexico city to guanajuato

Is it Safe to Drive to Guanajuato?

Yes, the highway is well-maintained and it offers amazing views of green mountain landscapes, wide fields, and colorful picturesque little towns. I have driven this road many times, and never had any issue.

The drive is relatively easy, especially if you’ve driven abroad before. That said, there can be a lot of traffic in Mexico City and going into Guanajuato. You’ll need to be patient.

Driving Tips in Mexico

  • In Mexico, you drive on the right side of the road.
  • Always keep your driving license, car rental papers, and proof of insurance handy.
  • The main road hazards are reckless drivers; they tend to go very fast, changing lanes as and when they like without signaling. Be wary of these drivers and keep calm!
  • There are plenty of speed bumps along the Federal Highway, especially when you get close to Guanajuato. When you see the signpost “TOPE“, slow down and prepare for the bumps.
  • Avoid driving at night as you won’t be able to see the speed bumps and drivers go even faster than usual. Here is my guide on driving in Mexico to help you stay safe, deal with reckless drivers, and avoid common scams.

Guanajuato Travel Guide

How to Get around Guanajuato

Guanajuato is a big city and you’ll need transport to get around and visit different attractions. We mostly walked everywhere in town and used our rental car only to get outside the city. If you’re staying in the historical center, you could get by without a car as most of the places to visit in Guanajuato are located in the city center. 

mexico city to guanajuato


Is there Uber in Guanajuato?

Uber is active in Guanajuato, Mexico and available throught the city 24/7 with great clean and safe cars. It’s really affordable to take Uber around Guanajuato — it doesn’t usually cost more than US$10 to go from one end of the city to the other. As Guanajuato is a popular tourist destination, there are many Uber drivers available all day long.

Best Time to Visit Guanajuato

Thanks to its location in the central highlands of Mexico, Guanajuato is blessed with a pleasant spring-like climate all year round. In general, any time of the year is great to visit as Guanajuato’s climate doesn’t vary too much throughout the year, with average high temperatures hovering between 73°F (23°C) and 88°F (31°C) no matter the season.

But I would recommend visiting Guanajuato between November and April when there’s less rainfall than in the summer months. We visited in March and the weather was glorious and not too cold/warm. It was always sunny, but the high altitude meant a very dry climate.

One of the most popular times to visit Guanajuato is in October when the Festival Internacional Cervantino takes place. Cervantino is a tribute to the Spanish author, Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote, his influence is still felt all over the city. Time your trip to visit during one of the biggest Mexican celebrations and you’ll experience plenty of music, dance, and poetry throughout the city.

Where to Stay in Guanajuato

There are plenty of accommodation options in Guanajuato to suit all budgets, from spacious Airbnb to luxury boutique hotels. We recommend staying in the historic center (within a few blocks from el Jardin) so you can easily walk everywhere.

Luxury: Hotel Mision Casa Colorada

One of the best hotels in Guanajuato, Casa Colorada is a heritage hotel housed in a historical building perched on the hills overlooking the historical center. It may need some updates, but the views from the room are outstanding (with ceiling-to-floor windows) and the entire ambiance is surreal. Check rates here.

Mid Range: 1850 Hotel Boutique

Set in the center of Guanajuato, the 1850 Hotel Boutique is housed in a charming, neoclassical building, dating from the 1850s. The striking, modern rooms feature French, classic, and contemporary designs. The sky bar is one of the best rooftop bars in town! Check rates here.

Budget: Hotel La Paz

Located in the heart of the historic center, this budget hotel overlooks the iconic Basilica de Guanajuato. Rooms are affordable and simple but with spectacular views and a fantastic location. Check rates here.

Is it Worth Visiting Guanajuato?

Guanajuato is one of best offbeat places to visit in Mexico – it’s popular mainly amongst Mexican travelers, and it has retained a strong sense of grittiness and authenticity. If you’re interested in seeing the real Mexico, I highly recommend adding Guanajuato to your Mexico road trip itinerary.

  • As digital nomads, we’re incredibly lucky to work remotely and live just about anywhere we want. 🌍💻 But the truth is — it’s not always as carefree as it looks.

Our hours are flexible, which is great... but it also means we’re often working during travel days — at airports, in transit, or trying to meet deadlines before check-ins. Alberto, in particular, has had to attend video meetings at gas stations and in the car. 😩

The only real time we fully unplug is when we’re in a remote destination with limited internet — like right now in Madagascar. 🇲🇬That said, those proper breaks only happen maybe 3–4 weeks a year.

The rest of the time? We’re juggling deadlines with dinner, Zoom calls with timezone math, and emails between experiences. ✈️📬

Yes, it can feel like we’re always working.
But we wouldn’t trade this lifestyle for anything. It’s allowed us to live anywhere we want, experience new cultures, and show our kid a world far bigger than a classroom.

The freedom comes with responsibility — but the rewards? Unmatched. 🙌

  • I’m not saying that school is not important… I just think kids can learn life skills and general knowledge better outside the classroom — through travel and actual experiences.

In China 🇨🇳 …
she practiced speaking Mandarin, learned Chinese calligraphy, learned about yaks, made pottery with the spinning wheel and tried all kinds of Chinese food 🍲!

In Peru 🇵🇪…
she learned about the Inca civilization, the history of Machu Picchu, how oasis is formed and the importance of quinoa, alpacas and llamas 🦙.

In Finland 🇫🇮…
she learned how igloos are built, how reindeers are important to the Sámi people, saw the Northern Lights for the first time and visited Santa 🎅!

In Argentina 🇦🇷…
she learned about the Spanish colonialization, about how glaciers form, about the megalodon, ate the best steaks and did her longest hike 🥾.

In South Africa 🇿🇦…
she learned about different kinds of wildlife, about the fynbos, about the apartheid and Nelson Mandela and how he fought for his country’s freedom.

In Madagascar 🇲🇬…
she’s learning about the different kinds of lemurs, the evolution of wildlife over millions of years, the formation of stone forests and the idea of democracy.

  • Thanks to our jobs that allow us to work fully remote, we’re able to live anywhere we want and show our kid the world!

🌎 Alberto and I have always traveled, since  we met as students in Miami 20 years ago. He’s from Spain and I’m from Singapore; and we’ve been traveling with our 10-year-old since she was born.

🌎 I’m a travel writer and my husband is a software engineer. We both work fully remote but to make this life sustainable, we tend to maintain a base in a country and travel from there.

🌎 Currently our base is South Africa 🇿🇦, and we’re exploring the country thoroughly and sharing all the wonderful kid-friendly places worth visiting here.

🌎 Our priority is to teach our kid life skills and lessons she cannot learn in the classroom. I share how we worldschool and turn every travel moment into learning opportunities.

🌎 With my work as a travel writer, we sometimes get to experience pretty special places and hotels, and I get paid to write about it. I will be sharing more of how I make a living.

  • Madagascar is not an easy place to travel, especially with kids. But if you come with an open mind and a sense of adventure, the whole family will be rewarded with some of the world’s most unique wildlife and travel experiences.

Here are some important things to know:

🚸 Only a small percentage of Madagascar’s roads are paved — be prepared for long, bumpy drives. The longest drive day we had was 8 hours of non-stop “African massage”. Pack lots of snacks, toilet paper and entertainment! 

⚠️ Best time to visit Madagascar is July to October, but it’s still blazingly hot 🥵. Book hotels with pools; your kids will appreciate it! Some roads (like the one to Tsingy de Bemahara) are closed during rainy season (Dec-Mar) as they get muddy or flooded.

💊 Madagascar is a malaria-affected zone. We are not taking any anti-malarial medicine but we brought them with us just in case. We’re covering ourselves in lotsa insect repellent and long sleeves!

⚡️ Many parts of Madagascar are remote and electricity is scarce - even if you stay in nicer lodges, they might only have power in certain times of the day. We had a few sweaty nights in western Madagascar.

🛜 Expect to be offline most of your time in Madagascar. There’s no cell signal in the remote areas thou internet at high-end lodges is not bad.

✈️ Madagascar Airline is notorious for being unreliable i.e. domestic flights often get canceled. Be prepared with a contingency plan if your flights get canceled.

🏙️ In Mexico City, massive parades bring La Catrina to life — with dancers, floats, and vibrant skulls that honor both tradition and modern creativity.⁣

Every place, every altar, every candle reminds us that death isn’t an end. We don’t forget our loved ones — we invite them back.⁣

🇲🇽✨ In just 2 weeks, Mexico will be glowing with candles, marigolds, and memory.💀🌼⁣
⁣
Every year, from October 31 to November 2, Mexico celebrates life, death, and everything in between. It’s not just a holiday — it’s one of Mexico’s oldest traditions, uniting generations, families, and communities across the country.⁣ In the 4 years we spent living in Mexico, we celebrated this tradition in different parts of the country, experiencing its soulful rituals and beautiful traditions.
⁣
🕯️ In Oaxaca, the streets turn into a living altar — music, mezcal, sand tapestries, and processions fill the air with reverence and joy.⁣

As digital nomads, we’re incredibly lucky to work remotely and live just about anywhere we want. 🌍💻 But the truth is — it’s not always as carefree as it looks. Our hours are flexible, which is great... but it also means we’re often working during travel days — at airports, in transit, or trying to meet deadlines before check-ins. Alberto, in particular, has had to attend video meetings at gas stations and in the car. 😩 The only real time we fully unplug is when we’re in a remote destination with limited internet — like right now in Madagascar. 🇲🇬That said, those proper breaks only happen maybe 3–4 weeks a year. The rest of the time? We’re juggling deadlines with dinner, Zoom calls with timezone math, and emails between experiences. ✈️📬 Yes, it can feel like we’re always working.
But we wouldn’t trade this lifestyle for anything. It’s allowed us to live anywhere we want, experience new cultures, and show our kid a world far bigger than a classroom. The freedom comes with responsibility — but the rewards? Unmatched. 🙌 👋 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.

I’m not saying that school is not important… I just think kids can learn life skills and general knowledge better outside the classroom — through travel and actual experiences.

In China 🇨🇳 …
she practiced speaking Mandarin, learned Chinese calligraphy, learned about yaks, made pottery with the spinning wheel and tried all kinds of Chinese food 🍲!

In Peru 🇵🇪…
she learned about the Inca civilization, the history of Machu Picchu, how oasis is formed and the importance of quinoa, alpacas and llamas 🦙.

In Finland 🇫🇮…
she learned how igloos are built, how reindeers are important to the Sámi people, saw the Northern Lights for the first time and visited Santa 🎅!

In Argentina 🇦🇷…
she learned about the Spanish colonialization, about how glaciers form, about the megalodon, ate the best steaks and did her longest hike 🥾.

In South Africa 🇿🇦…
she learned about different kinds of wildlife, about the fynbos, about the apartheid and Nelson Mandela and how he fought for his country’s freedom.

In Madagascar 🇲🇬…
she’s learning about the different kinds of lemurs, the evolution of wildlife over millions of years, the formation of stone forests and the idea of democracy.

Thanks to our jobs that allow us to work fully remote, we’re able to live anywhere we want and show our kid the world! 🌎 Alberto and I have always traveled, since we met as students in Miami 20 years ago. He’s from Spain and I’m from Singapore; and we’ve been traveling with our 10-year-old since she was born. 🌎 I’m a travel writer and my husband is a software engineer. We both work fully remote but to make this life sustainable, we tend to maintain a base in a country and travel from there. 🌎 Currently our base is South Africa 🇿🇦, and we’re exploring the country thoroughly and sharing all the wonderful kid-friendly places worth visiting here. 🌎 Our priority is to teach our kid life skills and lessons she cannot learn in the classroom. I share how we worldschool and turn every travel moment into learning opportunities. 🌎 With my work as a travel writer, we sometimes get to experience pretty special places and hotels, and I get paid to write about it. I will be sharing more of how I make a living. Any of this sound like something you can relate to? Follow along @wildjunket for travel ideas, itineraries, and the realities of travel as a digital nomad family. 🌏 #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #digitalnomadfamily #familytravel #digitalnomads

Madagascar is not an easy place to travel, especially with kids. But if you come with an open mind and a sense of adventure, the whole family will be rewarded with some of the world’s most unique wildlife and travel experiences. Here are some important things to know: 🚸 Only a small percentage of Madagascar’s roads are paved — be prepared for long, bumpy drives. The longest drive day we had was 8 hours of non-stop “African massage”. Pack lots of snacks, toilet paper and entertainment! ⚠️ Best time to visit Madagascar is July to October, but it’s still blazingly hot 🥵. Book hotels with pools; your kids will appreciate it! Some roads (like the one to Tsingy de Bemahara) are closed during rainy season (Dec-Mar) as they get muddy or flooded. 💊 Madagascar is a malaria-affected zone. We are not taking any anti-malarial medicine but we brought them with us just in case. We’re covering ourselves in lotsa insect repellent and long sleeves! ⚡️ Many parts of Madagascar are remote and electricity is scarce - even if you stay in nicer lodges, they might only have power in certain times of the day. We had a few sweaty nights in western Madagascar. 🛜 Expect to be offline most of your time in Madagascar. There’s no cell signal in the remote areas thou internet at high-end lodges is not bad. ✈️ Madagascar Airline is notorious for being unreliable i.e. domestic flights often get canceled. Be prepared with a contingency plan if your flights get canceled. 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.
