Bogotá City Tour
Start your day early with a visit to Paloquemao Market, one of Bogotá’s most traditional and lively marketplaces. Here, you’ll find stalls full of tropical fruits, colorful flowers, and a variety of local produce. Take the opportunity to try unique flavors such as lulo or guanábana, and chat with vendors who are always happy to share tips or stories about their goods. It’s a great introduction to the everyday rhythms of the city. Next, head to Monserrate, a mountain that overlooks Bogotá. You can reach the top by hiking, funicular, or cable car—whichever suits your pace. At the summit sits the Sanctuary of Saint Christ Fallen, and on clear days, the view across the city and surrounding savanna is especially striking. Continue to La Candelaria, the historic heart of Bogotá. Walk through its narrow streets lined with colonial-era buildings, colorful murals, small cafes, and local shops. It’s a pleasant place to slow down and get a feel for the city’s past and present. Nearby, Plaza de Bolívar is a central square surrounded by important buildings like the Cathedral and government offices. Round off your day with visits to two key museums: the Museo Botero, featuring works by Fernando Botero and others, and the Museo del Oro, which displays thousands of gold artifacts from Colombia’s indigenous cultures.
