Bogotá is the capital of Columbia and a city renowned for its exciting and unpredictable nature. Despite having a somewhat murky past with regard to crime rates, Bogotá has cleaned up its act in the last 10 years due to a great effort being made by the government to improve safety and infrastructure. With tourism becoming a more viable possibility for the world traveller, many Bogotá apartment rentals have sprung up in recent years.

Tourists looking for culture and artistic interests tend to stay in the historical La Candelaria region of the city as it is surrounded by museums, art galleries and laid-back cafes. As well as other types of accommodation, there is also plenty of Bogotá serviced accommodation available in this area of the city. The north of the city is generally regarded as more of a business area, and many visitors coming for that reason choose to stay there.

For fans of shopping, a number of shopping malls have sprung up over the last few years in and around the city centre. Tourists staying in Bogotá city centre (center) apartments will be happy to find almost 20 shopping centres and malls surrounding them. Among the largest are the Centro Mayor and Santafé centres which are the first and second largest in the country respectively.

Many natives to Bogotá choose to use the city's public transport network to get around. Only about one in four cars in the city are owned by private individuals meaning there is a great strain on the city's taxis, buses and Metro system. However, public transport in Bogotá has been improved recently to cater for the city's growth and expanding tourist trade. Many serviced apartments in Bogotá are found very close to a bus stop, Metro station or taxi rank.

Also to be found in Bogotá are numerous museums, art galleries, libraries and theatres. Colombians are also big fans of parks and monuments with literally hundreds of these in the city. It is always nice to take a break from your Bogotá serviced flat, and lay around in one of the many parks for the day.

The capital of Columbia really has been renewed in recent years due to the government's investment and has become a genuine option for those wishing to see the real South America. The abundance of museums offers a chance to go back in time and see the roots of this city and country, and you may well find a museum right outside your Bogotá short term apartment.
