10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in La Paz That You Shouldn't Miss
Sitting in a valley in the Andes Mountains, La Paz is the city that touches the clouds. The de facto capital of Bolivia, and sitting between 3300 and 4100 meters above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. Rich with 19th century churches, museums of artifacts from the pre-Conquest era, precarious overlooks, and colorful markets, La Paz is truly unique. The Witches’ Market, in the center of the city, sells charms and potions for Aymara rituals, as well as souvenirs.

For the locals it is an efficient public transport system, for visitors it is one of the best ways to discover La Paz from above. You get to see things that you would never be able to see when walking or driving around the city. Great views everywhere. The views from El Alto down to the La Paz city valley is one of a kind and simply breathtaking. Don't miss a Teleferico ride in La Paz.

If you're into sunsets and city views that is the place to be. Very accessible (taxi from centre 10BS, walk 15mins from Plaza del Armas) and offering 360 degree view of La Paz. Worth it!

The Plaza Murillo was humming with activity whilst I was there and the plethora of important Government buildings surrounding the Square amply rewarded the patient amateur photographer.

I've read several reviews saying that Calle Sagarnaga is just a bunch of tourist shops/restaurants and isn't worth the hype. I can't disagree more. While there certainly are touristy shops and restaurants, there is so much more if you take the time and have the courage to explore a bit (and get more than a block away from Plaza de San Francisco). Scores of unremarkable doors and pathways lead to magnificent colonial courtyards full of non-touristy shops, restaurants, quirky museums, etc.

When there's life, there's death. This cemetery is poignantly beautiful and is a must visit to see the other aspect of the culture here.
