Take A Trip To Bogota!
By Gaizka Pujana

 Located 2,547 meters above sea level, with the stunning grandeur of the Cordillera mountain range visible from many parts of the city towards the East, Bogota is truly a breathtaking spectacle of a city in more ways than one.

If you are planning to visit the city for the first time, you will probably want to know what hotel accommodations are like. The good news is that Bogota is great place to find accommodations on a budget. Numerous lodging houses, pensions, backpacker hotels and budget hotels can be found, with most of them offering superb value for the money.

Particularly worthy of mention is the amusingly named Cranky Croc Hostel, which is built into a 19th century colonial structure. An ideal place for those traveling with everything they can carry in a backpack, the hostel offers comfort and tastefully appointed surroundings that belie its very affordable rates.

Another one of the better budget hotels in Bogota is Platypus Hostel. This place is perfect for backpackers that want to socialize with travelers from all over the world or simply enjoy a good night’s rest in comfortably spacious surroundings.

With your hotel accommodations taken care of, you will probably want to know what there is to do and see in Bogota and the city will surely not disappoint. If a bit of history is what you are after, head straight to the center of town where impressive displays of the city’s architectural marvels await. The La Candelaria district is particularly noteworthy, since it is where many of the city’s most majestic buildings are located, among them the Catedral Primada, the Luis Angel Arango Library, which covers a whole city block, and the El Museo del Oro, which is a popular tourist destination housing some truly spectacular collections of gold artifacts.

Bogota is a city that takes its libraries very seriously, and some of the most renowned ones are just as impressive for the books that they contain as for their architectural design. El Tunal, and Virgilio Barco Vargas are only two of the most impressive ones and they are well worth visiting if only to catch a glimpse of their majestic facades.

Bogota is also a place where you can totally forget about culture and simply party the night away. With scores of clubs, bars and assorted nightspots that are filled to the rafters with hordes of beautiful people, there is usually something going on in the Bogota nocturnal scene most nights of the week. Among the bars and clubs that you should not miss out on are Mister Babilla with its unique brand of music, Salome, which is very popular with the local residents of the city, and the appropriately named Tropical Cocktails where you can sample from the extensive menu of drinks.
