You CAN drink the tap water in Bogota but it tastes like a literal swimming pool, so it’s probably better that you don’t.I can’t overstate this enough – this applies no matter where in the world you travel to! The travel insurance I recommend is an affordable monthly subscription, which you can cancel any time. Get travel insurance so you’re covered if an accident happens.Get an eSIM so you always have internet access when you need it.Don’t be flashy with valuable items (i.e.Don’t walk long distances at night, ever always hop in an Uber (or taxi, as a second, less-safe option).Stay in a safe neighborhood (details below).From street art to food to cultural activities, if you give Bogotá a chance, you’ll be glad you did!īut some other tips to keep in mind include: So in other words, spending time in Bogotá really helps you understand who Colombia is, as a country.
And it’s not overly touristy, like other Colombian destinations (Cartagena, I’m looking at you). It’s packed with great restaurants, bars, and shopping. Truly.Īfter spending one month exploring Bogotá, while living there as a digital nomad, I have to say: I really like Bogotá.īogotá is colorful, dynamic, and surrounded by awesome nature.
