A Week in Bogotá - Colombia 7-Day Itinerary

A Week in Bogotá - Colombia 7-Day Itinerary

I have always heard that Bogotá is a city where you should only stay for a weekend but while I was there I felt that there was so much to explore. Bogotá, the vibrant capital of Colombia, is a city that seamlessly blends its rich history with modern urban life. From colonial neighborhoods to world-class museums, Bogotá offers a diverse range of experiences. This 7-day itinerary will help you explore the city's best attractions and soak up its unique culture on a budget. This was part of my 1 month trip to Colombia with my girl friends where we explored so many wonderful cities. Includes: - Accomodations recommendations. - How I moved around the city. - Day by day itinerary of the activities I did while I was there. - Important must-visit landmarks of the city. - Restaurant recommendations.

Located 2,625 meters above sea level, Bogotá's weather is quite cold. My friends and I went to Bogotá in the coldest month of the year: July. I was ready to wear around 3 layers of clothes, however, even though it was the coldest month a warm sweater was enough and I ended up overpacking.

The best time of year to travel to Bogotá is during the dry season, which is from December to March.

Accommodation

We stayed in 2 different hostels while we were in the city. The first one we checked into was República Hostel, followed by our stay at Trip Monkey.

We chose these accommodations due to their location, as we'd heard that the lively Chapinero district was the ultimate hub for nightlife and entertainment. It's worth noting that Chapinero also has a reputation for being a safe area.

During our stay, we opted for a shared 4-bed female dormitory. Each of the bunk beds had its own power outlet and a curtain for privacy. Not only were the beds incredibly comfortable, but they also kept us warm throughout our stay. What truly set this hostel apart was the variety of activities they had scheduled for each day of the week. From cultural excursions to fun social events, there was never a dull moment. The staff played a pivotal role in making our experience exceptional – their warmth and friendliness created an inviting atmosphere that made it effortless to connect with fellow travelers. I would definitely stay here again.
