Neighborhoods
Zona G is one of my favorite spots! Just a block away from the apartment you can enjoy a diverse list of exclusive, gourmet restaurants. From italian to Japanese, chinese, argentinian.. well you name it! I'm a foodie and Bogota is a great place to explore new cuisines and getting to know friendly locals! Very exclusive area.... Did I mention is just a 5 minute walk from the apartment? :)

Traveler advice
Customs and culture
What can you expect?
Colombians and particularly bogotanos (people from Bogota) are very polite and helpful.
If you come from a metropolitan city you'll adapt easily, since Bogota is a crowded, noisy city, and somewhat uncomfortable but fun! Traffic is hectic, I recommend NOT getting a car. Is best to use public transportation, Uber or taxi. I'm a local and have never dared to drive a car (That's how crazy traffic is lol) apart from the crazy traffic, the food is amazing, people is warm and welcoming! bring a few coats heaters are very uncommon and may get a little chilly! or you may opt for a shotof aguardiente
Getting around
walking or transmilenio are the fastest ways to get around.
did you know Transmilenio is the world's largest bus rapid transport system? It is a network of buses that mostly run in their own lanes.
If public transportation is not your forte, just avoid rush hour and get an Uber or a taxi. The apartment is very central so you may get to places within a quick walk in a nice cool weather.
