Antes de ir
Desde el aeropuerto
From Alcantarí Airport (SRE), the most convenient option is a taxi. The fixed rate to the city center is approximately BOB 50-60 (about $7-9 USD) for the 30-minute journey. There is no direct public bus.
Cómo moverse
The historic city center is extremely walkable, flat, and compact. Most major attractions, plazas, and restaurants are within a 20-30 minute walk of each other.
Consejos de la zona
- For the best light and fewest crowds, visit the iconic San Felipe Neri rooftop for city views right at opening (9 AM) or in the late afternoon.
- Take a 'micro' (small bus) for just BOB 2.50 to get to Parque Cretácico; it's cheaper than a taxi. Catch it from Avenida de las Américas near the bus terminal.
- On Sundays, head to the Plaza 25 de Mayo around 10 AM to witness the elaborate changing of the guard ceremony at the Prefectura building.
