Many transportation options are available, including:
Taxis are readily available and the fastest transportation option. It takes around 20 minutes to reach the city center, depending on traffic conditions. Ride-hailing services are also available and can be a better alternative since regular taxis may lack taximeters and you may need to negotiate fares beforehand.
There are multiple car rental companies in the city center, most of which are local providers.
