Guadalupe station is a station on the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3. The station is one of the many elevated stations that can be found on the line. It is located in Makati, Philippines and is named because of its location in Barangays Guadalupe Nuevo and Guadalupe Viejo in Makati. Both barangays are in turn named after Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The station is the ninth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the fifth station for trains headed to North Avenue. It is the last station of the line south of the Pasig River.
Nearby landmarks
Guadalupe station is near two major seminaries: the San Carlos Seminary and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary, both of which are manned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila. It is also near Guadalupe Shopping Center, a shopping complex and public market connected to the station's concourse by an elevated walkway. Other nearby landmarks include the centuries-old Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church, Guadalupe Nuevo Cloverleaf Park, and Hotel Sogo. The Makati City Hall and University of Makati are also accessible via J.P. Rizal Avenue and J.P. Rizal Avenue Extension, respectively.

Transportation links
Passengers can board jeepneys, taxis, buses, and UV Express to various points from the station, including eastern Makati, Taguig, Pasay, Mandaluyong, Pateros, and southern Manila. Tricycles can be found in areas further away from EDSA that serve locally within Guadalupe.[1] The Guadalupe Pasig River Ferry Station is also located nearby, while a new EDSA Busway station is located at the nearby Guadalupe Bridge.
The station will be adjacent to the upcoming SkyTrain, built by Alliance Global, that will run from this station to Uptown Bonifacio in the northern side of Bonifacio Global City. It will also be connected to the future Guadalupe Station of the planned Makati Intra-city Subway.
