Bogotá 2-Day Travel Guide 🇨🇴

Bogotá is even less touristy than Medellín, but shares its perfect spring-like climate ☁️, amazing coffee ☕, and warm locals. With attractions doable in 1.5-2 days, decent shopping, and fair prices, it’s great for both short stays or as a transit hub. 👀 How to Explore Day 1: Downtown City Walk 📍 La Candelaria (Historic heart) 📍 National Museum of Colombia (40K COP, +4K for cameras) - Limited English info 📍 Gold Museum (4K COP) - More than gold! Better than the National Museum 📍 Plaza de Bolívar 📍 Botero Museum (⚠️ Closed Tuesdays) 📍 Monserrate (Sunset views 🌄, cable car available) 🚶 All walkable | Uber: 6-8K COP Day 2: Salt Cathedral A surreal underground church ⛪ built in a salt mine (1932, expanded in 1995). Features: Main cathedral Artistic Stations of the Cross Underground shops 🎫 *110K (online) / 118K (onsite) - Basic ticket enough* 🚌 Take bus from Portal del Norte (10K COP, 1hr to Zipaquirá), then 20min walk ⚠️ *Free Chinese audio guide, bag storage (6K COP), 3hrs inside + 4hrs transit* 🍽️ Food Tips Arepas & street snacks 🌽 Hearty beef/chicken soups 🍲 🏠 Where to Stay Best: La Candelaria (central). Avoid airport-area hostels—too far! ⚡ Transport Intercity Buses: Terminal de S.A. (Main hub, clean, good connections to Cucuta/Armenia) Portal del Norte (Only station for Salt Cathedral) Terminal De Sur (Armenia buses online, but S.A. has late trips too) 🚍 City buses don’t take cash—buy cards at big stations #Bogota #Colombia #QuickTravelGuide #SaltCathedral #WorldTravel
