Start with a recommended trip or create one from scratch
Nestled in the Andean highlands at 8612 feet above sea level, Bogotá is a vibrant metropolis brimming with history and culture. Stroll through the cobbled streets of La Candelaria, the historic heart of the city, where colourful houses and street art tell tales of a rich past. Savour the flavours of Colombia at the bustling Paloquemao Market, or ascend Monserrate for breathtaking views of the sprawling city below. Don't miss the Gold Museum, a dazzling collection of pre-Hispanic treasures. Whether exploring the lush Botanical Gardens or sipping coffee in a chic Zona Rosa café, Bogotá offers a delightful insight into old-world allure inside the capital city.
Whether it's the atmosphere of a Ciclovía Sunday, where the streets are closed to cars and filled with cyclists and pedestrians, or the sounds of salsa that spill from the bars into the night, Bogotá's unique energy will sweep you off your feet.
Visit the lesser-known La Perseverancia market for an authentic shopping experience and a taste of some local favourites. And if you're not planning on a hike, take a ride on the funicular railway up to Monserrate Mountain for stellar views.
Bogotá's elevation is 2,640 metres above sea level, which can cause altitude sickness. It may be helpful to allow a day or two to acclimate to the altitude, especially if you're travelling from the coast.
