It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Bogota. It is considered impolite to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly, as Bogota is a conservative city. Avoid using profanity in public, as it is considered rude. Additionally, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions, and to be aware of the local laws. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs regarding tipping, as it is not customary to tip in all situations.
