Arriving at a new airport can be a little stressful, especially when you need to get to the city. Isfahan offers several transfer options from the international airport (IFN), from convenient taxis to more economical buses. This information will help you navigate and choose the best way to get to your hotel or desired location in the city.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit of the arrival terminal. Typically, airport representatives help passengers orient themselves and call a taxi. It is important to make sure the taxi driver uses the meter, or agree on the price in advance, to avoid misunderstandings. Usually, a trip to the city center will take from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. The expected cost of a taxi ride to the city center can range from 10 to 20 euros.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a large group or with a lot of luggage. Usually, the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name. When booking a private transfer, it is important to clarify the meeting point and make sure the driver knows your flight number. The price for a private transfer is usually fixed and depends on the type of vehicle and the distance to your hotel. The cost can range from 30 to 60 euros, depending on the class of vehicle.
Shared shuttles and minibuses are a more economical option, but they may be less convenient as they make stops at different hotels. Usually, they depart from the airport at certain intervals when enough passengers have gathered. This option is suitable if you are not in a hurry and want to save money. The cost of a shared shuttle can range from 5 to 15 euros.
Isfahan has bus connections from the airport, but it may not be very convenient, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Also, you may have to make a transfer to get to your hotel.
