While taxis and other ride-sharing apps make getting around a breeze, the most relaxing way to explore Bogotá is by bike. Consider renting one through Bogotá Bike Tours for only £8 per day, and take advantage of the dedicated cycle paths throughout the city. If you prefer more exclusive and personalized transportation, make use of Blacklane airport transfer services, starting at £22 one way, to avoid stress and have a comfortable ride from the moment you land.
If you have more time, take a cable car ride to see the city from above or check out the Gold Museum featuring tons of gold artifacts from pre-Columbian indigenous groups in Colombia. If you have less time, consider dropping Salitre Mágico amusement park from the itinerary. Lastly, keep in mind that most restaurants are closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly.
