Luggage storage in Bogotá

Leaving a Bogotá rental before a late flight can leave you carrying everything through the day. We help you choose between the city's own storage desk and nearby Stasher spots.

The city’s long-distance bus terminals have round-the-clock storage, while major museums offer either a cloakroom or a small number of lockers, though the Movistar Arena allows almost no bags inside; TransMilenio’s own size limits rule out most checked luggage on board, with specific rules for each. As Colombia's capital, Bogotá is also the country's main political, economic, and cultural centre. Intercity buses depart from three main terminals: Terminal Salitre, Terminal Norte, and Terminal Sur. The Salitre Terminal's official luggage storage is managed by Terminal Bogotá Copropiedad, with fees payable when you retrieve your items. Tourism and leisure were the primary reasons for international visits to Bogotá in 2025, accounting for 56% of arrivals. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations across Bogotá.

Some top Stasher locations in Bogotá include:

• Hotel reception, 6 min walk from Centro Comercial Niza · open 24/7
• Hostel reception, 23 min walk from El Batán
• Local shop, 45 min walk from alturras Park
• Local shop, 48 min walk from Bogotá

⁣You'll typically find a bag drop at hotel receptions, hostel receptions, and local shops. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Bogotá can be booked through the website or app.⁣

Arriving and leaving Bogotá with luggage

El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is the main gateway, with Terminal 1 handling international and domestic flights and Terminal 2 (Puente Aéreo) serving domestic routes. The K86 dual bus route links the airport directly to the TransMilenio trunk system towards the city centre, a journey of roughly 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

If you're heading out by bus, Terminal Sur offers 24-hour luggage storage on the second floor in the ticket area, which helps for late-night or early-morning departures.

Standard luggage there costs US$3,700, while oversized items run US$7,400. It connects to TransMilenio via the K301 La Felicidad feeder route, linking onward through Normandía and Avenida Rojas stations. From Bogotá's three main bus terminals, you can reach over 600 destinations across Colombia, including Cali, Cúcuta, Bucaramanga, and Villavicencio.

Getting around Bogotá with bags

TransMilenio is strict about what you can bring aboard: packages must stay within 60 cm in height, 40 cm in length, and 25 cm in width. Market carts, baskets, furniture, mattresses, refrigerators, and anything meant for sale are explicitly prohibited, so do not plan to haul bulky luggage onto a bus. If you're heading to La Candelaria from the airport, the K86 route connects to Museo del Oro and Universidades stations along the Eje Ambiental corridor. From Museo del Oro or Las Aguas, Plaza de Bolívar is a 6- to 8-block walk taking about 12 minutes. With the 60 cm height limit, a large checked suitcase won't fit on TransMilenio, so sort out storage before boarding.

Bag rules at Bogotá's attractions

The Museo Nacional de Colombia requires you to check suitcases, large bags, and packages at a cloakroom by the exit towards the north garden before you start your visit. Anything over 39 cm x 33 cm x 13 cm stays out of the galleries, so pack light or plan to use that cloakroom on arrival.

The Museo del Oro has a limited number of lockers where visitors can leave packages if they wish, though space runs short on busy days. Movistar Arena is tighter still: large bags are prohibited, and only personal items like handbags or backpacks up to 20 x 20 cm are allowed inside.
