Best areas in Bogota:
Main Scene: Downtown district. Best concentration of venues. Well-lit and safe.
Alternatives: Side streets have hidden gems.
Hope this helps.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?
