🇨🇴 Solo Travel Guide: Bogotá, Colombia

💰 Money, SIM Cards & Transport (See my Medellín guide for details!) Unlike Medellín, Bogotá has no metro—get around by walking, taxis (use Uber/Cabify), or buses. 🏠 Where to Stay 📍 La Candelaria (Old Town) is ideal—walkable to major sights! ✨ Spotty Hostel: Loved its rooftop with panoramic city views! 🖼 Must-Visit Museums (Most are FREE!) 1️⃣ Botero Museum 🎨 Bogotá’s most famous art museum! Features Fernando Botero’s "chubby" masterpieces + works by Picasso, Monet, and more. 2️⃣ Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) 💛 The world’s largest collection of pre-Hispanic gold! Also showcases pottery and Colombia’s indigenous history. 3️⃣ Archaeological Museum Casa del Marqués de San Jorge 🏺 Hidden gem! A ceramics museum with thought-provoking exhibits about artifacts’ role in modern society. Stunning architecture too! 4️⃣ Museo Santa Clara ⛪ A 17th-century church turned museum, blending colonial art with indigenous traditions. ⛰️ Monserrate: Bogotá’s Best View 🚠 Take the cable car (search "Taquilla Teleférico Monserrate")—29,500 COP round-trip. 🌄 Pro Tip: Go for sunset! The city lights up magically. (Weekdays = fewer crowds!) 🥗 Top Food Picks 1️⃣ El Duende Restaurante 🔥 GO EARLY! Lines get crazy at peak hours. Serves modern twists on Colombian classics. 2️⃣ Restaurante El Antioqueño 🍲 Cozy spot for authentic Colombian dishes (try the bandeja paisa!). Less touristy, equally delicious. ⚠️ Safety Tips Avoid flashing phones/valuables in crowded areas. Stick to Uber/taxis at night. Why Bogotá? It’s a cultural powerhouse—art, history, mountain views, and foodie delights! Perfect for solo explorers. ❤️ (Next stop: Medellín? Cartagena?
