You must see it with your own eyes🪙 Botero Museum: The works of Fernando Botero, a famous Colombian artist, are exhibited here.

Try to avoid going out alone at night, especially in the old town and some remote areas. Be extra careful to keep your personal belongings safe in crowded places. Transportation: You can apply for a transportation card at the BRT station, or you can take a Didi or Uber taxi. There is traffic congestion during peak hours in the morning and evening, so remember to leave enough time when traveling🚗 Altitude sickness: Due to Bogota's high altitude, some people may experience altitude sickness. Get enough sleep, avoid strenuous exercise, drink plenty of water, and if the reaction is severe, consider preparing anti-altitude sickness medication in advance💊 Language communication: Locals mainly speak Spanish, so it would be much more convenient to download a translation software. However, the enthusiastic locals will also communicate with you in simple English and gestures.
