The 20 Best Things to Do in Bogotá, Colombia (Updated 2025)

"I wandered Plaza Bolívar and felt its status as the historical heart of Bogotá — it's the main square housing Colombia’s Palace of Justice, the Cathedral of Bogotá, the mayor’s office, and the Capitol Building, with buildings dating back to the 16th century; under Spanish rule it hosted bullfights, circus acts, and markets, and I had to watch out for the plethora of pigeons." - Matthew Kepnes
