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 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.
Posted: August 23, 2023Experienced: March, 2023I loved Bogotá. Although I only had time for Monseratte and La Candelaria, I could easily spend a few days sightseeing. I felt safe, even when I was exploring alone and taking pictures. I made sure to take a hotel taxi before it got dark.

Bogotá is a place where you should always be alert to what is happening around you. It is not a completely unsafe place, but it is a capital city, and like every capital city, you cannot be completely confident here. Especially being in Latin America.

I'm a student living in Birmingham England, but I love to travel whenever I can! I love yoga and calisthenics style stuff like climbing and pole dancing... I'm obsessed with food, and addicted to cheese... I'm super adventurous and love learning new things. The next trip I have planned is a 3 month adventure packed trip around south America, where I hope to learn to surf 😁😁😁
