Entertainment Overview

Bogotá's reputation for street crime hasn't put a damper on its ebullient nightlife. The two main partying areas are the Zona Rosa, between Calles 81 and 84 and Carreras 11 and 15, and the nearby Parque 93. There are also a handful of popular salsa bars in La Candelaria. The Zona Rosa and Parque 93 are safer than downtown, but you should travel there by taxi. The Bogotá municipal government decreed a 1 AM closing time in 1996, which has ended legal all-night partying. (Illegal "after-hours" bars are not a safe option.)
