Bogotá, officially Bogotá, Distrito Capital, is the capital and largest city of Colombia. It serves as the country's political, economic, administrative, and cultural center. The city is located on a high-altitude savanna known as the Bogotá savanna, part of the Eastern Andes, at an elevation of approximately 2,625 meters (8,612 feet) above sea level.

The city was founded on August 6, 1538, by Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada.

As of the 2023 census, Bogotá has a population of approximately 8 million within the city proper, making it the most populous city in Colombia and one of the largest cities in South America. The greater metropolitan area, which includes surrounding municipalities, exceeds 10 million inhabitants. The city covers an area of 1,776 square kilometers, divided into 20 administrative localities.

Bogotá has a subtropical highland climate, classified as Cfb under the Köppen system. Temperatures remain relatively stable throughout the year, averaging between 7 °C and 19 °C. The city experiences two rainy seasons, typically from March to May and from September to November.

The city is home to the Banco de la República, Colombia's central bank, and hosts the headquarters of numerous national and multinational corporations. Bogotá contributes approximately 25% of Colombia's GDP. The El Dorado International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Latin America by cargo volume and the second busiest by passenger traffic in the region.

Bogotá is a significant educational hub, hosting over 100 universities and higher education institutions, including the National University of Colombia, founded in 1867.

The historic district of La Candelaria contains colonial-era architecture, the Gold Museum (Museo del Oro), which holds the world's largest collection of pre-Columbian gold artifacts — more than 55,000 pieces — and the Plaza de Bolívar, the main public square of the city. The Museum of Bogotá and the Botero Museum are also located within the central districts.

The city operates TransMilenio, a bus rapid transit system launched in 2000. It serves over 2 million passengers daily and spans more than 140 kilometers of dedicated bus lanes, making it one of the largest BRT systems in the world.
