Bogotá is a frequent stopover if your final destination is another city in Colombia. In those cases, you may need a hotel for one night, if the connecting flight is not available.
Bogotá has roads that connect it with other cities in Colombia, such as the Medellín – Bogotá Highway, or the Trunk to the Caribbean Coast. Furthermore, from its surroundings you can find several ways to get there by public transport, either by bus or taxi, which will always be available at the transport terminals in nearby towns.
Taxis and buses in Bogotá are very efficient means of public transportation. If you are going to travel long distances, we recommend looking at a Transmilenio map, which is the name of the most important transportation system in the city.
Transmilenio consists of articulated buses that transport about 800,000 people daily. You will find stations throughout the city, which connect you from north to south, saving time and traveling without problems.
Upon arrival in Bogotá, there is a tourist information point at the airport, where you can get a map of Bogotá with directions to Transmilenio.
