I admit, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from Bogota. It’s a big city of 8 million & I had heard it was very well established, as opposed to Medellin’s growth arc, lots of traffic & smog, frequently rainy & overcast, & not much to see. Most of that is probably true although perhaps I lucked out in terms of weather as I enjoyed sunny beautiful days & no rain. The city was far prettier than I expected with much less smog. It featured stunning views from Monserrate overlooking the city. IMHO the old town leaves a lot to be desired, is unsafe at night & relatively uninspiring during the day so I stayed north near the great restaurants & nightlife. Perhaps it’s a sign of my humble digs during the prior 2 weeks, but I greatly enjoyed my Bogota hot showers & great experimental food but it’s also the first McDonald’s I’d seen on the trip. 
By far my fave part of the city is all of the street art. Bogota is known for having the most street-artist friendly laws (i.e. it’s not illegal & building owners often commission murals) attracting famous street artists from all over the world. Of course this is the case after a truly unfortunate event in which a 16yo kid was shot in the back by police in 2010 when caught late at night painting a building. But since, the close knit street art community worked hand-in-hand with law enforcement & now in the eyes of the law, it’s viewed as an art form, so they’re allowed to do their thing with full support of the community & during the day when it’s saf. So I took a graffiti walking tour of Bogota & learned about the various artists & their signatures & then just had fun wandering the streets on my own in search of other artwork.
