Colombia Travel|The mountaintop observation deck is a must-visit in Bogota!
Step into the charming country of Colombia
The first stop is the capital Bogotá.
This is a great place for a pleasant city walk🚶🏻♂️
The old town is dotted with museums and churches. It is recommended to reserve 1-2 days to fully experience its unique charm~
✨One day trip to Bogota
✅Cerro de Monserrate Mountain
The entrance to the cable car is at Taquilla Teleférico Monserrate. There are two options for going up the mountain: the Teleferico cable car and the Furnicular light rail.
However, there are usually long queues, so it is recommended to go as early as possible.
When you reach the top of the mountain, a white church comes into view, where you can have a panoramic view of the entire city. 👀
✅ Plaza Bolívar
The square is home to the Bogota Cathedral (Catedral Primada) and the Colombian Congress (Capitolio Nacional).
💡It should be noted that visiting the Colombian Congress requires making an appointment in advance.
Near the Congress, there is also the Church Museum (Museo Santa Clara), which is worth exploring.
✅ Museo Botero Museum
The museum displays paintings by the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero, the most representative of which is the fat version of the Mona Lisa. The unique painting style is unforgettable.
This museum is open to the public for free. In the same complex, there are also the Numismatic Museum (Casa de Moneda) and the National Bank Art Museum (Museo de Arte del Banco de la republica), which are also free and can be visited together.
✅ Gold Museum Museo del Oro
This is my favorite in Bogota!
This is definitely a must-visit museum when you come here!
Tickets only cost 5,000, which is very cost-effective.
It is the largest gold museum in the world and houses the largest collection of pre-Columbian gold artifacts in the world.
✅ Santuario Nuestra Señora del Carmen
It can be called the most beautiful church in Bogota. It is exquisite and gorgeous from the exterior to the interior decoration. It is located near the Botero Museum, so don't miss it.
