How to get from the airport to the city centre?

After you arrive there are a couple of options you can take depending on where on the island you want to go. The Line 3 bus operates from the airport and goes to the capital of the island as well as through the major tourist destinations. It isn’t necessarily the quickest choice but the bus is cheap and easy and it runs around every half an hour. Other than the bus your options are either a taxi or renting a car out. You can jump into a taxi outside of the airport and they aren’t overly expensive, however you’ll pay more than if you opt for the bus. Renting a car is only really useful if you plan on driving around the island, otherwise you’ll find it more of a hindrance.
