Arriving At Bogota Airport Colombia
When you land at the airport in Bogota, you’re on the doorstep of one of the largest cities in the world, where new and old worlds live side by side. The bustling city has much to show every visitor, and there is so much to see and do. The city has a lot to offer you.
You’ll want to reserve a car service when you book your trip, so that you aren’t delayed at the airport. There is cab service, but you don’t always know when the next one will come along. Find a reputable company that will serve your travel needs as soon as you have landed.
Then you can set off to see the Gold Museum, which boasts a wondrous collection of pre-Columbian and gold artifacts from the areas around Columbia, as well as in Columbia itself. It’s the one place where you can see samples of gold art that actually predate the influence of Spain. There are lots of different exhibits to see at this unique museum.
After you’ve satisfied your curiosity about pre-Columbian artifacts, ask your driver to set out for the National Museum, the oldest in Columbia. It was originally built in the 19th century, from brick and stone. It houses over twenty thousand pieces from various periods in national history. The displays include samples of ethnography and archeology.
Another interesting place to see is “El Cerro de Monseratte”. From there, you can see the whole city. This impressive location is two miles above sea level, and really affords you a magnificent view. It may be cooler at this location in cool months, and you should take along sunscreen on summer days, even if it’s overcast, since you won’t be as protected from the sun.
Book your hotel and car service before you get to Bogota, so that they will already be arranged when you get there. Booking online will ensure that you receive the best prices, and a reserved room and vehicle, so you can hit the ground ready to sight-see. Bogota is a fast paced city, and you want to make sure that you won’t miss a day of touring.
