Bogota, the capital city of Colombia, is home to the country’s most famous bars filled with excellent music and great drinks. At the bar, the beer is as cheap as $4-$5. While in the local market, the same is available for $1. Cost is one thing that makes Bogota a favorite place to party and gather lifetime memories. Walking through the streets of Bogota, a traveler does stand a risk of stabbing. Vitality is what you need when you plan a trip to Bogota. Crime rates, however, have sharply fallen over the years; still, compromise should not be there in your mind.
