About this activity

Discover Bogotá’s vibrant spirit, where history, culture, and breathtaking views come together. Accompanied by a professional guide, explore La Candelaria’s charming colonial streets and visit Plaza de Bolívar, the heart of the city’s historic and political life. Discover Colombia’s rich heritage at the Gold Museum (tickets included), home to thousands of pre-Columbian treasures, and admire the masterpieces of Fernando Botero at the Botero Museum.

To complete the tour, head up to Monserrate Hill, where we’ve included the cost of the funicular or cable car to Bogotá’s most iconic spot.

This service offers VIP tickets so you don’t have to wait in line. You can also include dinner and combine it with other activities, such as a visit to the Salt Cathedral. Or, if you’d prefer to take the city tour without visiting Monserrate, we also have that option available. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
