It's a great place for relaxation, but food here is expensive and not so good.
If you're hiking up don't do it alone, it's better if you go with a group of friends, or even better, local friends, sometimes it's not too safe.

Consejos para la ciudad

Formas de ahorrar
Museums are free on Sundays
If don't wanna spend too much, most of the museums are free entrance on Sundays. And be careful, they're closed on Mondays.
Cómo moverse
At night is better to use a taxi to go back.
Apps such as Beat in Bogota, are very affordable and safe. Public transport after 9pm is not a very good option especially if you're going out.
