It’s February and as well-known, it represents a very important month. February is most recognized for being a very romantic month due to Valentine’s Day; each and every couple gets very excited about this day. This is a very special date not only because you can enjoy with your beloved one, but because it’s also the perfect opportunity to show some of your love. But suddenly, the dreaded question appears: what am I going to do on Valentine’s Day? Or even worse, what am I going to give him or her for this special date? Even though you know this date is not about gifts, many couples are accustomed to exchanging a little something, and your mind is blank, and you have no idea what to give… Don’t worry, we got you. Why don’t you get romantic and take him or her to a beautiful theater play? What’s a better plan than spending a romantic night, watching a classic romantic play; writing your own story with your soul mate? Fortunately, Bogotá is one of the most suitable cities for this kind of plan, having more than 40 different theaters, in which you can find different plays all year long.
The Ibero-American Theater Festival is another great attraction the city houses each year, and one that would make another great Valentine`s Day gift. This festival features more than 15 national and international plays, prices start from 45,000 COP, and it takes place March 26th until April 1st. It might seem too far to make a Valentine’s day gift, but you can buy your tickets right now, and plan the perfect surprise for your special someone. If you find this festival’s date too far, there are always many options to enjoy in every occasion, and that are perfect to see the cultural richness our city offers, and don’t worry! If you don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, grab your best friend, your sister, or whomever you find and don’t miss the opportunity to delight your culture with a theater play.
