Colombia is a great country to visit, there is beautiful nature, historic sights, very friendly people and still relative cheap.
In the past Bogota didn't have a very good reputation, but today it's really worth a visit. Bogota has several beautiful museums, fancy 5 star deluxe hotels for affordable prices, good restaurants and an amazing nightlife, and a gay night club with over 4000 people every weekend!
Bogota is a very large city, make sure to stay in the right area. Read our travel guide for the gay visitor.
Bogota is a very typical South American city, it's large, busy, and in general not very pretty. However the old city is beautifully restored, and the tourist area has become very green and pleasant. It is really worth a visit!
When planning a visit to Colombia do about 4/5 days Bogota, and make sure it includes a Friday and Saturday for it's amazing (gay) nightlife.
Bogota is located on a high altitude, 2600m above sea level. Don't plan too many activities on the first 2 days of your visit, as you will easily loose your breath. Because of the high altitude the weather is very mild, and the nights can be even quite cold.
Bogota is a very large city. Make sure to stay in one of the nice areas. These are very modern and safe.
The best parts to stay in Bogota is the area around Parque 93, and the area Zona Rosa. Here you find great hotels (very affordable still for tourists), fancy restaurants and shopping malls with all designer brands.
