Bogota is a vibrant and cosmopolitan capital city, 2,640 metres above sea level and brimming with architectural contrasts.
The majority of visitors to Colombia will arrive into Bogota by air and spend a night or two before exploring the country further. Grand colonial churches and century-old plazas are interspersed with modern business areas and shopping malls.
Most visitors to Bogota find the historic neighbourhood of La Candelaria irresistible. Streets are lined with a charming ensemble of colourful houses, theatres, museums, galleries and cafes; amongst them are the opulent Teatro Colon, the intriguing Museo de Oro and the candy-striped Iglesia del Carmen.
Stroll around the Plaza de Bolivar nestled at the heart of Bogota’s historic district and contemplate the showcase of stately buildings including the Catedral Primada, Capitolio Nacional, and the presidential palace of Casa de Narino. Browse for quality souvenirs at Artesanias de Colombia where you’ll find everything from straw umbrellas to hand-woven ponchos, and encapsulate this bustling metropolis in an extraordinary view from the summit of Cerro de Monserrate.
