Answer 2

Like any major city, Bogota has its "downtown". There are big buildings, however not as big as you would find here in the U.S. I think, if I'm not mistaking, that the tallest building it's still is the "Colpatria Bank" building, which is like 40-something stories. If you go to Bogota, I would recommend going to "Monserrate". It's a big Mountain in Bogota, close to downtown. There is a train that goes all the way up to the top where there's a beautiful church; now granted there are stairs, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you're very much into doing exercise. Once you're up there it's very beautiful, you can see the entire city from there and all the big buildings from downtown.

While in downtown, please keep in mind that it's not like the rest of the city, there are some areas in which you may feel "unsafe", as long as you don't put yourself "out there" where "bad" people can obviously see you're a tourist, then you will be fine. In fact there are nice places to go see in Downtown, including "El Museo del Oro" (Gold Museum), and Bolivar's Plaza. Bring a camera and take lots of pictures!

Rest assured though, Colombia is not as bad as most people make it seem. Last time I went to Colombia was April 2006, I had not been there in over 10years since I moved to Florida. I went with my wife and children who are very "American-Looking" and nor I or them had any problems with Anybody whatsoever. In fact, people were very nice to us and specially to my wife. She loved it and been wanting to go back!

I hope you enjoy your time in Bogota, and hopefully you wil also get to see other beautiful cities that Colombia has to offer. Good Luck...
