About Bogotá for Solo Travelers
Colombia's sprawling highland capital where the Gold Museum, the Sunday ciclovía, and some of South America's best street food reward solo travelers who embrace its renewed energy.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
Bogotá has transformed enormously — La Candelaria and Chapinero are very manageable solo by day, and Zona Rosa/Parque 93 are the safe nightlife areas. Use InDriver or Cabify rather than street taxis. The Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) is one of the world's greatest museums and perfect for solo immersion. The Sunday ciclovía (when 75km of roads close to cars and open to cyclists) is one of the world's greatest free solo activities.
