- What to take on holiday in Bogota?
Bogota brings together the best parts of Colombia into one delightfully walkable city, so be sure to pack some comfortable shoes! The weather can be a fickle beast, so throw in a poncho or rain jacket as well as your appetite for adventure. The rest of your packing list will depend on the time of year you plan to travel as well as your proposed itinerary.
- When is the best time to visit Bogota?
The best time to experience the enchanting Colombian capital is during the dry season, which typically falls between December and March. This is when the city really comes alive with festivals, cultural events and outdoor concerts. If you're a fan of cooler weather (and smaller crowds), the months of April to June and September to November are great options, just be sure to pack a light jacket as Bogota's high altitude can bring a chill, even on sunny days!
