The Colombian capital of Bogot\u00e1 sits at an altitude of 2,640 meters<\/strong>, making it a city positioned higher than any mountain peak in many European countries. For the first day after arrival, it’s recommended to take it easy, drink plenty of water, and skip alcohol entirely. The city is also currently changing at a rapid pace, as the first metro line is under construction with a planned opening in March 2028<\/strong>. For now, you’ll mainly see a massive viaduct under construction above the important artery Avenida Caracas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that foreign tourists with a tourist stamp in their passport don’t pay the 19% VAT in hotels<\/strong>? Just show your passport when checking in and you’ll get a nice discount, at least according to the rules valid for 2026. On the other hand, be prepared that at many attractions, foreign tourists pay higher entrance fees<\/strong> than locals. This applies, for example, to the famous Gold Museum or the botanical garden, where you’ll simply pay a bit more for entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is often called the city of eternal autumn because daytime temperatures year-round hover around a pleasant 18 to 20 degrees Celsius<\/strong>. At night, however, the mercury drops to around six degrees, and morning fog reigns about 220 days a year<\/strong>. Don’t forget to pack warm layers and a reliable raincoat in your suitcase, as heating in hotel rooms isn’t exactly a standard here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
