Bogota City Guide

Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is a city great history and rich culture.

Visitors to Bogota can expect to be impressed by the city’s historic architecture, diversity of activities, and beautiful mountains.

Bogota was founded in 1538 by the Spanish conquistadors.

Its history is rich with tales of battles, gold, and cathedrals, and today visitors can take in much of Bogota’s history at its museums, churches, and many famous sites.

Bogota is a city surrounded by mountains, and no trip to Bogota is complete without a drive into the hills or a trip up Monserrate by foot or funicular.

If you hike, keep in mind that Bogota is at very high altitude, so make sure to bring plenty of water and pace yourself.

Bogota is also known for its restaurants and nightlife.

Whether you dine at Andres Carne de Res or stay closer to town at Club Colombia, Bogota has no shortage of restaurants, bars and clubs.

Whatever your pleasure, Bogota can keep you busy for weeks.

But if you don’t have unlimited time, try to spend at least four days in Bogota to enjoy everything the city has to offer.
