While I highly recommend seeing this area of Bogota, and we felt safe walking around the couple of blocks that we did, I was saddened that there is so much graffiti on all of the buildings, including the churches and cathedral. I wish there was something that could be done to encourage pride in that neighborhood and in the important... More

La Candelaria is great for a stroll to get a sense of Bogota's roots. There's plenty of old architecture - whether museums, churches, or houses in the area.

There is nothing worth seeing here - your time in Bogota is best spent in the beautiful areas of Zona Rosa, Zona Te and Parque 93. Stay away from this pigeon infested area where we were also spat on & pick pocketted for our mobile phones! Much better places to be in Bogota.

Safe as a house, armed cops everywhere, walk till your hearts content. Great to be in a Latino walking and strolling environment. Columbian coffee great.

The archeological collection is perfect, well illustrated and explained. Some of the pieces are... More

Have fun wandering around, find... More

It's not a very safe area at night yet a must see in all Bogota sights. Colorful painted buildings colonial cobblestone roads with terracotta roofs.near downtown a must see in Bogota.
