Why 24/7 changes how Bogota goes out
The strategy started as a response to a city that offered little at night. Today it counts on public and private partners and has its own brand among Bogota residents.
Its biggest win is organizing the offer. It packs events into a single window and helps people pick what to do on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
The role of sport and the night ciclovia
The IDRD Summer Festival arrives with free activities across several districts. Extended ciclovia, group classes and live shows lead the program.
For anyone who trains or walks, it is the perfect excuse to mix exercise with neighborhood dancing.
Culture for every budget
Most of the agenda is free or has sliding scale fees. Neighborhood fairs and guided tours tend to be the most accessible.
If you want theater or big concerts, check presale dates. Tickets sell out in a matter of hours.
Bogota moves this weekend like few others. Between concerts, ciclovia, theater and night walks, there is a plan for every budget and every schedule. Stop by the Que Hacer en Bogota blog and build your full route.
