Stay Safe in These Areas
Poverty, unemployment, poor infrastructure and lack of opportunities in some districts can contribute to higher crime rates.
- Ciudad Bolívar: Located in the southern part of the city, Ciudad Bolívar is a large, lower-income district with high rates of poverty and social challenges. This area is known for having high levels of crime, including robbery and violence. It’s generally advised that tourists avoid this area altogether.
- Usme: Similar to Ciudad Bolívar, Usme is another large, less affluent district in the south of Bogotá. It also experiences higher crime rates compared to other parts of the city.
- Kennedy and Engativá: These are large and densely populated districts in the western part of Bogotá. While not uniformly dangerous, they tend to have higher reported rates of robberies compared to wealthier areas in the north.
- San Bernardo (slum near the city centre): This is a centrally located, extremely poor neighbourhood that is easy to unintentionally walk into. It’s known for high rates of crime
- Certain parts of La Candelaria (Historic Centre): While a major tourist hub during the day with a strong police presence, some surrounding streets and less crowded areas of La Candelaria can become risky, especially after dark. Mugging incidents have been reported here at night.
- Areas around Transportation Hubs (e.g., near the bus terminals): Like many major cities, areas around large transportation hubs can attract petty crime and scams. Stay alert.
- Cerro de Monserrate (surrounding streets after sunset): The streets surrounding the base of Monserrate Hill can be risky after dark. It’s recommended to visit with a security escort or travel by vehicle.
Security Risks in Bogotá
The authorities have made significant progress in making the city a safer place to visit. However, there are still some threats to personal safety to be taken seriously.
While the overall crime rate has decreased, violent crimes such as assaults and robberies still occur, particularly in low-income neighbourhoods
