Getting there & away
The airport is 3.5km east of the city (US$5/1.25 by taxi/moto-taxi). Both Tortugair (2250-2555) and Caribintair (2262-2300; Rue 16B) fly twice daily to Port-au-Prince (US$85, 30 minutes).
Buses for Port-au-Prince (US$12, seven hours) leave from near the Barrière Bouteille (City Gates) on Rue L from around 5am. Leave in good time as buses terminate in La Saline on the edge of Cité Soleil – not recommended after dark. Buses travel via Gonaïves (US$6, three hours) and Saint-Marc (US$7, four hours).
For Cormier Plage and Plage Labadie, taptaps (local buses or minibuses) leave regularly from Rue 21Q (US$0.75, 30 minutes). For the Citadelle, taptaps to Milot (US$0.40, one hour) leave from Rue Lapont on the eastern edge of town near the main bridge. The road is bad, especially after rain. Transport to Fort Liberté (US$1.60, two hours) and Ouanaminthe (US$2.50, three hours) also leaves from here.
Ayido Tours (3729-8711, 556-3082) runs a direct coach service to Santiago in the Dominican Republic every Wednesday and Saturday from the Hôtel Mont Joli. Buy tickets at the hotel shop.
