Bogota Hotels
Breathtaking Bogota
Let’s be honest here, Bogota is absolutely huge. And, at 2,600m above sea level, the views are indescribable. Happily, it’s not all drug smuggling and rival gangs in this part of Colombia (phew!). Instead, you’ll find a beautiful, cultured and varied city that throws up some stark contrast between the old and the new. ... Read more »
Stroll around centuries-old buildings, such as the Catedral Primada or the Iglesia Museo de Santa Clara, or simply soak up the enormity and beauty of El Centro and its varied population.
Sports-mad folk won’t want to miss out on El Salitre, and for the hippies, artists and sandal-wearers out there, you won’t want to miss out on the fantastically named La Macarena(doing the awful dance craze is optional) for cafés, restaurants and smoking-hot-people watching!
BOGOTA’S TOP 10
10. Church of San Francisco Hourly masses make for a pretty crowded experience, but as Bogota’s oldest surviving structure, it’s worth a look. |
5. Museo Botero Picasso and his old chums hang here, as well as many works by Columbia’s most famous artist (Sr. Botero himself, obviously). |
9. Palacio de Justicia A violent struggle for ownership gives this palace its history. Try to keep the gorilla/guerrilla jokes to a minimum. |
4. Plaza de Bolívar Get ready to be pigeon-pooped on in this very famous square. |
8. Iglesia Museo de Santa Clara A blinged-out church, now run by the government as a museum. |
3. Cerro de Monserrate Take the cable car to the top for some fantastic views. |
7. Museo del Siglo XIX If you’re all learned out, picture your girlfriend (or yourself) in one of the many amazing corsets on display. |
2. Catedral Primada Learn why this enormous structure is the poster girl for the phrase “dust your self off and try again”. |
6. Museo de Arte Colonial: Just when you’re about to get sick of art, you’ll love the messy sketches and open spaces at this gallery. |
1. Museo Histórico Policia: Hear a story or three from local, English-speaking guides. Bizarre, but awesome. |
BOGOTA EVENTS
March brings with it the Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro, when performers from 45 countries put on classic, dance, avant-garde, circus, music and street theatre productions.
July 20 is Independence Day. Celebrate independently, or with a group. Ho ho!
The Red Bull Flugtag comes to town in September. Watch the crazies try to fly their contraptions and, let’s face it, fail spectacularly!
The famous Bogota Festival of Cinema walks the red carpet in October. Join in the festivities or try to land yourself a role in the next big hit!
WHEN TO GO
- Bogota is pretty bloody high up, so you may feel a little dizzy from the altitude for a day or two. So take it easy on arrival.
- Bogota is generally dry, with April and October tending to be the wettest months.
- Temperatures are pretty even all year, ranging from about 9 to 18°C (48-64°F).
GETTING AROUND
- There are buses in the city, but they’re not the best. They stop running at around 9pm, come at seemingly randomly times and are quite slow.
- The best way to get around is by taxi. But always insist that the meter is running.
- There are great bike tracks all around the city, so riding a bike is a fun and convenient solution. Traffic can be an issue, though, so if you want just a casual spin, do it on a Sunday.
