Best areas in Colombia:
Main Scene: Downtown district. Best concentration of venues. Easy to walk.
Alternatives: Local areas for experienced visitors.
Hope this helps.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $52/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
