La Bandera巴士总站连接加拉加斯与首都西部的城镇,如La Victoria(1小时)、Maracay(1.5小时)、Valencia(2.5小时)和Mérida(约12小时)。从La Bandera地铁站步行800米到巴士总站,天黑后不安全,旅客应随时保持警惕。对于该国东部地区,有Terminal del Oriente。请注意,两个总站都有“voceros”宣传的小型“独立”巴士服务。虽然它们的出发时间更灵活,但巴士可能很小且不舒服,扬声器即使在夜间也会播放响亮的音乐。
还有提供更多舒适的私人巴士公司。它们的价格也稍高一些。最著名的是Expresos Alianza和Expresos del Oriente,它们从自己的私人终端运营,如果您计划转乘它们未覆盖的目的地,这一点值得考虑。

A view of Caracas from near the top of the Teleferico
Casa John Boulton in Caracas, 2017The Avila mountain to the north of Caracas is highly recommended for hiking, views of Caracas, and its fresh air. The Sabas Nieves entrance, accessible by bus from Altamira, is the most popular.
The Teleferico is a cable-car that takes visitors up the Avila. The ascent provides a beautiful view of the city. At the top (altitude approximately 2600 m), there is a view of Caracas to the south, and of the ocean (Caribbean Sea) to the north on a clear day. Reduced fares are available for students, seniors and children. Take the ride up to Avila as early as possible before an afternoon haze obstructs your view from the top of the mountain. There are a few restaurants, many food kiosks, and numerous attractions suitable for children. These include a small skating rink, some small rides, and jungle-gyms. There is a well known fondue restaurant also located at the top. Some hiking trails branch off from the teleferico station, but without a map it is not easy to find them or know where they go, as they are not marked.
The MetroCable close to Parque Central. It is co-located in the Parque Central Metro station. It's free and provides a fantastic view of the city, although the surrounding area is generally considered unsafe by locals.
