9 Hotels and Resorts in Bogota

Bogotá is known for being home to a vibrant blend of cultures, history, and a splendid gastronomic scene. It is one of the largest cities in Latin America and is fondly called the “fridge” due to its altitude and much cooler weather than other parts of Colombia.

A great start to your Colombian adventure can be to reach the top of Monserrate. You can either hike, take a funicular or a cable car and appreciate the stunning panoramic views of Bogotá to situate yourself. There is also a church at the top.

Another must-see of Bogotá is to visit the historic old town, La Candelaria. Stroll around the cobbled streets and admire the colonial balconies, museums, theatres, and more. The Plaza del Bolivar is also another iconic landmark where the Cathedral Basilica of Bogotá and the Capitolio Nacional stand.

Art lovers, be sure to visit the Botero Museum to see some of the works of the Colombian artist Fernando Botero, among other artists; or the National Museum to learn more about Colombia’s history and culture.

But if there’s one museum you shouldn’t miss is the Gold Museum. It houses the largest collection of gold objects in the world.

Bogotá celebrates numerous cultural events throughout the year, including film festivals, book fairs, and more. Visit the vast Simón Bolívar Park and relax with a picnic or attend an open-air concert or event.

You can also head to Zona T or Zona Rosa for people-watching and shopping. These areas are full of boutiques, restaurants, and offer a lively nightlife in case you want to experience the city before returning to one of our hotels in Bogotá.

An interesting day trip can be to visit the underground Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá; it was built by miners who used to work there. It’s just one hour away from Bogotá by car.

Bogotá’s sky is usually cloudy, and temperatures remain fairly stable throughout the year. Temperatures typically reach around 20ºC during the day and then drop to about 9ºC at night. You should pack a raincoat or an umbrella as it often rains. Nonetheless, the mild climate is perfect for sightseeing and exploring the country as there are no extreme weather conditions.

Ajiaco is Bogotá’s most famous dish. It consists of a hearty chicken and potato soup, made with locally grown guasca herb that gives it a special taste.

Other traditional foods you should try are arepas, tamales, and empanadas.

You can try exotic fruits such as gulupa, zapote or lulo at Paloquemao market. The food stalls also offer delicious options for lunch. You’ll enjoy the authentic flavours of Colombian cuisine.

The best way to get around Bogotá is by using its efficient public transit system. The buses are the best option, as there are dedicated lanes throughout the city for a faster transport. You’ll need a travel card to use the bus system, but it’s quite easy to obtain.

Riding a bike or going on a guided cycling tour can be an amazing way to visit the city. Each Sunday, for what is called the Cyclovía some city roads shut down for the citizens to bike, skate or walk around. Blend in with the locals as you explore Bogotá.
