Solo travel

My experience as a solo female traveler in Bogotá I stayed in the Chapinero neighborhood and felt safe both during the day and in the evenings. For arriving in Bogotá, I really recommend choosing a comfortable hotel or a cozy hostel that feels like a retreat just for you. The weather can change quickly and rain is common, so I was very happy to have my own private room where I could rest and recharge. I spent many days walking more than six hours, exploring Chapinero, La Candelaria, and the surrounding streets – there is so much to discover, from cafés and colors to everyday city life....

Family travel

Very cool experience. I stayed near the Gold Museum. There are many restaurants nearby and more museums. At night, it is not very safe to walk in the area and you should be careful with people who approach you to talk.

Solo travel

- I was with locals so I was feeling safe. - The food is really good. - I took a cab or I was walking so I didn’t experienced the public’s transport. - People are nice. - At this time some museums were closed… - Really good for shopping I think.

I went to Bogotá and stayed at Spotty Hostel. I loved the hostel and would absolutely get back. At night I didn't always feel safe alone on the streets, but during the day I never felt like that. I've also noticed that it really helps if you speak Spanish! The people are really friendly and always eager to help. A must-visit is Monserrate!

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...

We have a lot of pickpocketers and phone thives, if you stay away from the more desplated areas and keep your bag in front of you when in a crowd you’ll be fine, as a local i always advice to travel on the first wagon of the transmilenio bus and away from open windows when in Sitp buses

Bogota is safe, only if you know where to go. It has very beautiful and interesting places to visit, but if you come alone and go out at night alone to dangerous places you could put yourself at risk.

Bogota is a wonderful place, actually Colombia in general is. U have to be careful like other countries and stay alert, but u can enjoy all time in restaurant, bars, hotels, walking around the cities. Etc. We have a lot of things to do. Try and come to Colombia.

If you are in the “pretty” parts of time is not that bad, but you ALWAYS have to be careful. Don’t take your cellphone out on the street and don’t go out alone at night. In bogota we are not that friendly with unknown people in the street because they can easily rob you. Try to look as you know your way around and don’t stop if someone tries to talk to you, don’t leave your belongings unattended or have your phone in your jacket’s pocket, you won’t feel a thing when they take it out. Don’t give anyone the slightest chance to take advantage of you and you will be okay!

There are some safety areas but it’s mostly insecure, you shouldn’t leave you’re things alone, walk at night or have your phone out in the streets, it’s better to be with someone who knows the area and how to move around
