Guadalupe station is near two major seminaries: the San Carlos Seminary and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary, both of which are staffed by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila. It is also near Guadalupe Commercial Complex, a shopping complex and public market connected to the station's concourse, overpass, and northbound (east) entrance) by an elevated walkway. Other nearby landmarks include the centuries-old Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church, Loyola Memorial Chapels & Crematorium, parks such as Guadalupe Viejo Cloverleaf Park and Kennely Ann L. Binay Park, and hotels such as Hotel Sogo Yabut, Hotel Sogo EDSA Guadalupe, My Inn Edsa Guadalupe, and Astrotel Hotel Guadalupe. The Makati City Hall and University of Makati are also accessible via J. P. Rizal Avenue. Guadalupe station is also the nearest station to the Rockwell Center, home to the Power Plant Mall.

Passengers can board jeepneys, taxis, buses, and UV Express to various points from the station, including western Makati, Makati Central Business District, Taguig passing through Bonifacio Global City, Pasay, Pasig, 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 along J.P. Rizal Avenue in Cembo, Taguig. An EDSA Carousel station is located on the nearby Guadalupe Bridge and is accessible through the MRT station's southbound platform.

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.
