Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Nassau uses the BSD ($) and Bogotá uses the COP ($). Language shifts too — English in Nassau, Spanish in Bogotá. Be careful behind the wheel: Nassau drives on the left, Bogotá on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Nassau and Bogotá?
Nassau is 1 hour behind Bogotá. Nassau runs on GMT-4 and Bogotá on GMT-5. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 7 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Nassau from Bogotá?
About 2,288 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 3h 11m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?

What currency do Nassau and Bogotá use?
Nassau uses the Bahamian dollar (BSD, $); Bogotá uses the Colombian peso (COP, $). Check the live rate before transferring money or paying with a card abroad — most banks add a 1–3 % FX margin on top of the mid-market rate.

Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 00), then +1242, then the local number — drop any leading zero of the city or mobile code. For free calls, WhatsApp, Signal, and FaceTime work over Wi-Fi regardless of country code.
What language is spoken in Nassau and Bogotá?

No. Bahamas drives on the left, Colombia on the right. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
