Villa de Leyva Suggestions From Bogota?

Any suggestions on Villa de Leyva and if it's worth a day trip or if I should try to stay a night there from Bogota?

I want to go on a Friday to avoid the weekend crowds

Can anyone provide info around transportation options and schedules to and from Bogota?

As for things to do in that area - are there any great views or places to view sunsets or romantic spots?

Muchas Gracias.
