Guadalupe MRT Station is a station on the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3 (MRT-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 Barangay Guadalupe Nuevo in Makati. The barangay (and its counterpart barangay, Guadalupe Viejo) is 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.
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 a shopping complex and public market (Guadalupe Shopping Center), which is 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 Extension.
Passengers can board jeepneys, taxis, and buses to various points from the station, including eastern Makati City, Fort Bonifacio, Pasay, Mandaluyong, Pateros, and southern Manila. Auto rickshaws can be found in areas further away from EDSA that serve locally within Guadalupe. The Guadalupe MRT Station is the closest station for the Rockwell Center, which houses the upscale Power Plant Mall. The Guadalupe Pasig River Ferry Station is also located nearby.
