Overview
Like many of Latin America’s great cities, there's never a dull moment in Bogotá, Colombia’s dynamic capital. It can feel immense and at times edgy, but Bogotá also has a lovely, relatively sedate colonial core.
La Candelaria has palaces and churches centred around Plaza Bolivar, contrasting with modern suburbs filled with upmarket shops, nightclubs, glamorous restaurants and plush apartments.
A centre for the intellect, Bogotá has many excellent museums, cinemas, theatres, music venues and universities, along with a vibrant café society. The city is overlooked by Andean peaks towering over the city which, at 2,640m, enjoys a climate of perpetual spring.

Where to go when - our guide to Bogota
The weather in Bogota is wide and varied
Thanks to its location in the heart of the Andean mountains, Colombia’s sprawling capital stands at a considerable altitude - 2,600 metres closer to the stars, according to the city’s slogan. Bogota enjoys a perpetually mild, spring-like climate, so you can visit its excellent museums, theatres, music venues and rustic cafés at any time of year.
Temperatures tend to hover around 14°C with sunny spells, showers and cloud cover fluctuating throughout the day. Generally you’ll find the most sunshine and least rainfall from December - March and again from Jul - Aug. You may also want to plan around the fascinating and varied cultural events that the city offers: Carnival celebrations in July, International Theatre Festival March - April, and a world renowned Jazz Festival in September.
