    You want to know how to get to your tourist destination? Visit Bogotá launches interactive maps of the city

    With an alliance between the District Tourism and TransMilenio Institute, visitors can access information that will easily take them to the main attractions of the city.

    Can you imagine going through Bogotá with a custom guide in your pocket? It is now possible thanks to the new interactive tourist maps of Visit Bogotá: a digital tool designed for you to enjoy every corner of the capital in an easy, connected and up-to-date way.

    In the style of the world's major capitals, Bogotá, in collaboration with the massive TransMilenio transport system, makes available its new interactive maps, an innovative digital tool that will allow visitors and citizens to explore the city more efficiently, connected and dynamic.

    This platform - available here in Bogotá, your home - on the portal of Visit Bogotá and on the tourist information points (PIT) equipped with interactive pedestals strategically distributed throughout the city, will allow the citizen, visitor and tourist both to be located in the city, as well as to find the chosen destination and the easiest way to reach it.

    Developed 100% in the cloud, this digital experience offers four thematic maps: nearby restaurants, tourist attractions, recommended routes and events, first mapping of location, search and navigation, which will undoubtedly make your visit a modern and unforgettable experience.

    What can you find on these maps?

    - Tourist attractions: from museums and market squares to natural spaces and historical monuments.

    - Nearby restaurants: options for all tastes and budgets.

    - Recommended routes: safe and suggested walks to explore iconic neighborhoods or discover hidden treasures.

    - Real-time events: concerts, fairs, exhibitions and much more.

    Each of these maps not only tells you what you can do, but how to get there, how much you're late and what else you can find in the surroundings. And thanks to the TransMilenio routes you find there, planning your tour now is as simple as checking the map from your cell phone or from a pedestal in the city.

    Each of these maps is connected in real time to the public transport system and to the updated tourist information of the Vision Bogotá ecosystem, a technological core that integrates the web portal, the mobile app, the virtual guide 'Candelaria' and now this new interactive tool.

    Thanks to this integration, users can discover not only what to do, but also how to get there and what to live in every corner of the city. When interacting with the map, the system detects the location of the user and presents all the nearby offer, becoming a custom guide from any point of navigation.

    In addition, the system detects your location and shows you custom recommendations from where you are. Are you in La Candelaria and you don't know where to go after visiting the Gold Museum? The map suggests nearby places, how to get there and what you can do there. It's like having a tour guide, personal and with you all the time.
