Do you have 1 to 3 must see recommendations for someone who has never been to Colombia? Flying in the night before the show, and then will have a full day the day after the show too.
Since you will be tn Bogota for a short period of time; the places to go will be:
Monserrate (mountain), where you can see the whole city.
Plaza de Bolivar which is a Square in Downtown close to Monserrate, and "La Candelaria"; this is the colorful colonial neighborhood in downtown too.
For Food and Drinks, will be the "Zona T"
There will be a PreParty on the 24th which might be closer to the venue, will keep you posted here, feel free to ask anything.

Any advice on transport to/from the show? I'm at the Hilton. Hoping to just use Uber.
SHOW COUNT: (152) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=92, US=112, CAN=15, Europe=19 ,New Zealand=2, Australia=2
Mexico=1, Colombia=1
Upcoming: Manchester, London, Chicago x2, NYC x2, Fenway x2, Ohana x2 Aucklandx2, Gold Coast, Melbournex2
Uber is the way to go, I used it 2 months ago when I went to visit some family and is the best way to move around the city, be aware that traffic is kind of crazy so plan with +30mins.
See you there!

Monserrate (mountain), where you can see the whole city.
For Food and Drinks, will be the "Zona T", Usaquen, "Zona G"
If you have the chance go to Chia, small city 30 mins outside Bogota (NORTH) or to Villa de Leyva, a colonial city @ 2hrs (NORTH)
Plaza de Bolivar which is a Square in Downtown close to Monserrate, and "La Candelaria"; this is the colorful colonial neighborhood in downtown too. (In this area you should be more careful than the other places, especially with your belongings)
Areas around the venue are OK
Avoid The South and West areas, see map
Moving around the city I recommend you to use uber, be careful at ATM's, don't walk alone after hours in an empty and dark street (don't need to mention this but just in case)
I will be there on the 19th, so if you need something let me know and will help you, let me know!

I'm staying at Hotel B3 Virrey, which from the reviews seems to be in a decent/good location (address is Carrera 15 No 88-36,Chico, Bogotá, 110010, Colombia... familiar with the area?) and not too far from the venue

Oh, about transportation... I'm a really good walker, and the distances from my hotel to the venue and to the place for the Pre Party are similar to what I walk everyday to go to work. I wouldn't walk back at night, of course, but you said the areas around the venue are Ok. Would it be safe for a girl to get there on foot? (and the same to the Pre Party); If so, is there a nice route you would recommend?
Thanks, this is a very helpful thread!
Addresses in Bogota are simpler carreras will go from south to north and calles from east to west
to the pre-party, just take Carrera 7 (you will be in calle 17) towards the north until you hit calle 44, then you will walk towards carrera 13 until you see the place. Be aware of some homeless asking for money while you walk, if people talk to you don't pay attention, just keep walking.
To the venue is a different story, I will not recommend you to do it, is a long walk and the route is not that simple. Uber would be better.
Please let me know if you have more questions, I am here to help as much as I can not only here but there, the idea is to find a way for people to go in groups at least to the venue and/or pre-party :-)

One last question for now. Would you say it's too far to walk from my hotel area to the venue? And Would it be safe to walk both going to and coming back from the concert?

Great ideas and words on this thread! I'm stoked to be heading down there! My girl and I have two weeks in Colombia and we are absolutely PUMPED for the show. I'm having a bit of trouble with Tuboleta online ticket portal. I've read about how to trick the website and all that does anyone have any luck or any other way of buying tickets? Really trying to nail these tickets down here in the next few days!
Thanks to all for any and all help!
Glad you will be enjoying my beautiful country, are you going to be only @ Bogota?
regarding tickets I did it on the 10c presale and picked them last august when I went there, no issues at all, just have to show your CC, it was tricky to actually purchase them, let me find the info since we discussed that before here or on FB.
