Medellin Airport: It takes around an hour to get into the city centre from Jose Maria Cordoba International Airport, which is around 63km away from the city itself. One of the cheapest ways to get into the city is to get the official airport bus. If you turn right as you leave the airport and walk down the path you’ll come across a white bus. It’s small and can be very crowded but it’s certainly cheap, costing no more than £4. It’s also reliable and runs until 9pm. If you can’t get the bus or would rather not, then the most convenient way of travel is a taxi. They aren’t cheap at all, with the average price around 60 000 Colombian Pesos, so make sure you don’t pay more than that. You can find the taxis outside of arrivals. Bogota: Bogota is the capital of Colombia so getting from the airport to the centre is relatively painless. The most convenient method of transportation is to jump in a taxi. First of you’ll need to go to a stand where you’ll explain where you want to go. You’ll be given a ticket which states the price and then you can go and tell a taxi driver your destination. At the end of your journey you’ll simply have to pay the indicated fee on your ticket. Second option of choice is to get a bus. You’ll find the ‘paradero’, or bus stop, a few meters away from the entrance to the airport. The downside to getting a bus is if you’re not familiar with the city you could end up getting dropped off anywhere. It’s a huge place to get lost in. That said most drivers are friendly and will help you where they can.
