Reply To: Bogota activity / restaurant recommendations?

[cin3]

Regarding Bogota, many of the best restaurants and cultural places have now gone but there’s still a lot. Zona Rosa is pretty soulless and the bars are crap but there’s good restaurants there these days.

El Chato, Leo and El Cielo were probably the top three meals there I had in my 2 months in 2023 but cheaper places like Mesa Franca are also very good. I think Matiz and Criterion are no longer around. Andres Carme de Res is trash and should be avoided if you care about food.

Teatro Nacional La Castellana is a great theatre. Electronic music scene is very good.

MAMU and MAMBO are good art museums but the best contemporary art is at El Parqueadero in the Botero complex which is probably the best art museum. Museo del Oro also a must-see.

Use the transmilenio rather than cars during rush hour.
