Driving in Bogota can be quite an experience. It's a great way to explore this sprawling city at your own pace. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Traffic rules: Drive on the right-hand side of the road, unlike in the UK where you drive on the left. Seat belts are mandatory for everyone in the car.
  • Speed limits: The general speed limit in urban areas is 60 km/h and 80 km/h in rural areas.
  • Parking: Ensure that you park your car in secure parking lots in the city, especially at night, to avoid common petty crimes.

Choosing the Right Car Class

Compact cars are ideal for the bustling city streets of Bogota. However, if you plan on exploring the Andean peaks or other surrounding cities, an SUV would be more suitable to handle the rugged Colombian terrain.

Exploring the City and Beyond

Bogota is the gateway to discovering fascinating Colombian culture and history. Here are some of the top attractions:

  • Monserrate: This mountaintop sanctuary offers breath-taking panoramic views of the city.
  • Historic Quarter - La Candelaria: A colourful neighbourhood glows with an array of splendid colonial architecture and street arts.
  • Gold Museum: Showcases an extraordinary collection of pre-Hispanic gold artefacts.

Beyond Bogota, take your rental car on a journey to nearby cities like Zipaquirá, famous for its underground Salt Cathedral, or explore the beautiful coffee plantations of Vega.

Practical Information

Climate

With an altitude of over 2,600 metres, Bogota enjoys a mild climate with average temperatures around 14°C. Remember to pack a jacket or two for the evenings and pack for rain regardless of when you are visiting, as Bogota tends to have a rainy climate.

Currency

The Colombian Peso (COP) is the currency in Colombia. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted but it's recommended to carry some cash for local stalls and vendors.

Seasonal Events

With careful planning, a sense of adventure, and your trusty rental car, Bogota promises an unforgettable travel experience. Happy driving!
