Why you'll love it

Bogotá is Colombia's capital, a big, high-altitude city in the Andes with a strong arts, food and café scene. It scores 9 out of 10 for value, and 8 for food and culture, making it an affordable and surprising city break.

The best time to visit Bogotá is December to March, the drier months. At about 2,600 metres above sea level, it's cool all year, so pack layers.

Explore La Candelaria, the colonial old town, with its street art and museums, including the Gold Museum and the Botero Museum. Ride the cable car or funicular up Monserrate for views over the city. On Sundays, the Ciclovía closes main roads to cars so locals can cycle and walk. The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá is a popular day trip.

Bogotá suits culture lovers, food lovers and budget travellers.
