You gotta be careful with your belongings when you are at the street and public transport. Men usually fell free to shout out to you and molest you. It’s better to be mean, give them a bad look and continue your way. Zones like the center are the most dangerous, but you can walk the turistic zones.
Posted: April 6, 2024You need to be careful with your cellphone on the streets. Always check the prices before paying or purchase something. Take a cab via app in that way you could guarantee a fair rate and a safety cab

I spent a weekend in Bogota in March 2023. I stayed at “Hotel Retiro 84 by MIJ”, very safe area to walk during the night for solo female travelers. Favorite places to eat in the area: La Taqueria calle 82, Frites Artois, Azahar Café Nogal Favourite activities in Bogota: - Ride to Monserrate for the sunset (think of arranging taxi in advance from there, as it’s difficult to get Uber afterwards and area is not considered extremely for foreigners) - Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia, with Botero art (free to visit) Great lunch spot: Quinua Y Amaranto It’s considered safe to walk in La Candelaria before 5 pm, not sure what happens after as I didn’t try to stay after the sunset. I typically walked or got a taxi / Uber

I was in Bogota with a friend. Love the climate there, throughout the year max 20 degrees Celsius. All sorts of tropical fruits and fresh juices everywhere. It is a nice and clean city, and people are very friendly. Climbed on mount Monserrate on a rainy day - and even though it was cloudy the view from above and the experience was amazing. Not dangerous at all, would definitely return if I get a chance.

I stayed in the La Candelaria area and it was relaxing, both during the day and at night. I did several city tours based on tips (one was about food, the other about street art), I visited the Botero museum and the gold museum, took a funicular to Monserrate, and also did a day trip to the Salt Cathedral and Guatavita. I will definitely return there in the future to see more of this country.
Posted: April 29, 2023A few of my favorite places in Bogota: Gold Museum, Botero Museum, Bolivar Square, Monserrate, La Candelaria neighborhood, if you are there on Sunday - ciclovia, if you have transport arranged - a day trip to the Salt Cathedral and visit Andres Carne de Res in Cundinamarca on the way back to Bogota. Colombia is beautiful!!!
