Name: Bogotá
Region: Bogota en surrounding area
Telcode: 1
Population: 8,244,980
Elevation: 2600
Temperature: 19 to 21
Description:
Bogota is one of South America's most happening cities. It has culture, bohemia, cafes, parties, art, dance and business. Bogota is booming, and now is a great time to go. Bogotanos are friendly and sophisticated. And yes, it's quite safe.
Most travelers land in Bogota as their first stop in Colombia, and spend just a day or two. Others stay for weeks, months or years.
With a population of about 8.1 million people, Bogota sits approximately 8,660 feet (2640 meters) above sea level in the Andino region. Orientation is relatively easy, as the mountains to the east are generally visible from most parts of the city.
Bogotá is a city of contrasts, and as such it offers a unique experience to its visitors. Prepare to find a hectic balance between the new and the old; the peaceful and the frantic. Encounter century-old plazas and churches shadowed by towering skycrapers. Find peaceful treelined bicycle routes cut through by wild-traffic avenues. Bogota is a city with many layers. From internationally recognized universities to regional offices for multinational companies, Bogota is Colombia's capital for official business dealings. It is a city that caters to a population that has been exposed to European and North American influences, which ensures that anything from traditional dishes (Ajiaco) to sushi or fast food restaurants can be found. It's one of the most modern and metropolitan cities of South, Central America and the world. Bogota is divided by 4 sections: The South which is mainly the poorer section of the city; El Centro, which translates "Center", is the city's original Downtown and hosts most of its traditional heritage locations, city and public offices, and financial headquarters. El Occidente, which is home to Bogota's major sporting venues and outdoor parks, as well as residence areas for main middle and some upper class living; and The North which is where most modern development has taken place, and combines many upscale living spaces with affluent shopping centers, boutiques, cafes, nightclubs, and many new business neighborhoods offering headquarters to many multinational corporations.
During the last decades, due to the city's exponential growth, some of neighboring towns have been absorbed and are now considered within the metropolitan area of Greater Bogotá, like Suba, Soacha and Fontibón.
