La Candelaria
The colonial core — museums, murals, universities; hostels thick on the ground.
13 km from center
#2
Chapinero
The food-and-coffee engine — where Bogotá actually goes out.
6.6 km from center
#3
Zona T / Zona Rosa
Glossy nightlife-and-shopping blocks.

Getting around
Uber/DiDi and app taxis; TransMilenio buses are fast but pickpocket-prone at rush hour.
Altitude: take day one slow. Sundays are the day — Ciclovía, Usaquén flea market, thinner Monserrate crowds by afternoon.
