Bogota Airport serving in Bogota, which is considered to be one of the most important centers of South America, is also known as El Dorado International Airport.

Fast and convenient taxis are one of the most recommended vehicles to come to the airport from Bogota's center. If you do not want to take a taxi, you can come to the airport without difficulty by buses among the public transportation alternatives. However, buses are not the safest way to get to the airport in the city, especially at late hours in the night.

If you wish to travel to the airport at your convenience, you can also rent a car in the city and you can be in front of the airport terminal in a short time with the vehicle you rent. Private shuttles are both fast and extremely comfortable on this route, but the fees for these vehicles are a bit high compared to other alternatives in Bogota.

Taxi

Bogota is a city where taxis are often used to come to the airport from the city center, especially by foreign visitors. One of the most important reasons for this is security. Buses and other public transport can be problematic in terms of security, especially for those taking the road in the late hours. Traveling by taxi is both safe and extremely budget-friendly compared to many cities. The cost of getting to the airport with these vehicles in Bogota is about $ 15, although it varies according to the point where you take it. You can talk to the driver before you head out to the airport from the center, and you can also offer to negotiate at a fixed fare.

Bus

While buses are an alternative that can be used by those visiting Bogota many times, the first-time visitors of the city should be careful taking these means of public transportation. The main reason for this is the security problems that are experienced in the city from time to time.

The fare you pay for the buses varies between 6-8 dollars for each passenger.
