“As a solo traveler, I found that staying in a hostel with a bar in La Candelaria made a huge difference. After a day of wandering through the Gold Museum and Bolivar Square, it was great to just grab a beer at the hostel bar. It felt safe, and I met people easily without having to navigate the city at night to find a spot. Plus, having a shared kitchen meant I could cook some meals and save money, then join the others for a drink. It really helped me connect with other backpackers and get tips for my next day's adventures.”
