Do you dare to be a city walker in Bogota?

In Colombia, there is a city whose street graffiti tells the traces of time, colonial buildings exude the charm of history, and the aroma of food and coffee permeates the streets and alleys. It is Bogota! Today I’m taking the kids on a virtual tour of Bogota. Remember to like and collect this post so that you can copy my homework! 📍【How to get there】 ✈️Plane: El Dorado International Airport is the main gateway to Bogota, with many international flights arriving directly. You can save a lot of money by looking for air ticket discounts in advance on the official websites of major airlines or travel platforms. 🚗Urban transportation: The rapid bus system is very convenient and can reach most places, but you need to buy a Tullave card in advance, which can be purchased at the airport and some bus stops. If you want to call a taxi online, you can use Uber, Didi, and Indrive. It is very convenient to call a taxi anytime and anywhere. 🏠【Where to stay】 💎Northern wealthy area: Recommended [Hotel Name 1], with complete modern facilities and various high-end shopping malls and restaurants around, providing a one-stop shopping and dining experience. The price per night is about 500-1000 yuan. 🏘️La Candelaria District: [B&B name 2], located in the center of the old city, you can feel the colonial style when you go out, the price is affordable, 150-300 yuan per night. However, the personnel here are relatively complicated, so you should pay more attention to the safety of your property. 🍱【What to eat】 🥩Barbecue: When you come to Bogota, you must try Colombian barbecue. It is tender and juicy, and paired with a unique sauce. It is super satisfying in one bite! ☕Colombian Coffee: Be sure to try the local coffee, which has a mellow taste and rich aroma. Juan Valdez Cafe is a chain store located throughout the local area. The quality is guaranteed and a cup of coffee costs 20 to 50 yuan. 🥧Special snacks: Arepa (tortilla), Empanada (meat filling burrito) and other snacks are not to be missed. They can be bought on the streets and alleys at an affordable price of 3-10 yuan each. 🌅【What to play】 1. Plaza Bolivar: A landmark square in Bogota, it is surrounded by government buildings, colorful buildings and the cathedral. Here you can feed pigeons and experience the leisurely atmosphere of the local area. 2. Monserrate Mountain: Take the cable car to the top of the mountain and overlook the magnificent view of the whole Bogota. There is also a church and a cafe on the top of the mountain, which is perfect for taking photos. The cable car prices are cheaper on Sundays. 3. Gold Museum: The museum with the largest collection of gold artifacts in the world. There are more than 34,000 exquisite gold and jade products made by Indians. You must see the treasure of the museum, the Muisca Boat. The ticket is 5000 pesos. 4. Botero Museum: It houses the works of Fernando Botero, a famous Colombian artist. The people and animals in the paintings are all chubby and super cute. You can also see a small number of works by artists such as Picasso. It is free to visit. 5. Street walking in the old town: The La Candelaria district retains many colonial buildings and graffiti. Walking through it is like traveling back in time. You can spend most of the day strolling around and feel the fusion of history and art. ⚠️【Notes】 1. The security situation in Bogota is average. Try not to travel alone at night, especially in the old town. Carry your backpack in front of you and keep your cell phone and other valuables away. 2. Most of the locals speak Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish, you can download translation software in advance. 3. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring a coat to avoid catching a cold.
