I've moved here permanently. Kids are in an elite school for $600pm, and I'm the only non-Colombian parent. I'm surprised there aren't more foreigners. Going to Gringo Tuesdays is a very touristy thing, I only ever went once everyone is 25 and trying to get laid basically, and its P$11,000 a beer, my local pub sells beer for $P2,000 by comparison. The longer you are here the more you discover. The "centre" of the city is really from 83rd-93rd-115th roughly, 83rd has loads of great clubs and restaurants and getting an uber at 2am is perfectly safe. Don't be hanging round calle 13 or something, visit and leave before dark! The further north you go the safer it is, above Parque 93 its probably safer than NY. There are a lot of WeWorks and the internet is super fast, I have 350MB broadband in my house, a six bedroom house with 1/4 acre garden for $400k. ScotiaBank/Colpatria gives you the best exchange rate.

Strongly agree that this is an underrated city! If you want to buckle down and get some work done, it's a great place to be. Folks here are a bit more serious and business minded, and it comes with generally good internet and functioning services around the city. There are a number of cool coliving buildings that make life really fun. I stayed in one called Plura Coliving for about $700/month. You get a private room/bathroom + gym, spa, bar, restaurant, laundry, coworking, rec rooms, etc. all built into the same building. Awesome place to stay!! Knowing Spanish will be more helpful, since the nomad community is much smaller than Medellín, but if you want a more authentic experience it's a great place to meet locals. Go to "Gringo Tuesday" nights at a local bar called Vintrash while you are there, great vibes and lots of fun people to meet!

Wildly underrated city. Lots of great restaurants, bars, nice people and wonderful museums and parks

I was at Bogota for two weeks last month and did not felt like doing much tourism. Its a packed city, traffic jam at its worse and a wierd vibe. Im not a city guy, though internet its great and services run 24/7. I stayed at a comercial barrio, Muequeta, in front of a uni, which felt safer.

I was told I was staying in an insecure part of the city by a local, but I really, truly didn't notice anything too sketchy. Walked down some bad roads, but no one tended much to be on them.

Nice city. Need cash in many places still hence long lines for ATMs. Safe. Pretty. Goes from cloudy to sunny to cloudy to sunny. Take a bike tour to see the city. I stay in Chapinero which was nice. There a gym called Body Tech and they'll let you work out there for free your first time. No water fountains though so bring your own.
