Arrive · Bissau
Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (OXB)
OXB to the city: one pre-booked hotel car, 20–50 minutes — the risk is a flight that lands with no ride arranged and few taxis afterwards, not the distance.

Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Hotel car arranged in advance, meeting you with your name at arrivals, straight to the door.
- Precision
- Osvaldo Vieira is north-west of the centre; there are few flights a week and few taxis after the last arrival (field-verify); confirm the pickup with your flight number.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a car with your name at arrivals; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
- Agree the fare before you get in; carry small XOF notes or euros for the ride.
- If no ride is available, sleep near the airport: do not walk the road at night.
- Check visa and yellow-fever certificate rules for your passport, and your government's travel advice, before you fly.
