7 History Museums in La Candelaria That You Shouldn't Miss

May 29, 2021 Russell Mellin

Ten million people call vibrant, passionate, sprawling Bogota home. The energy of this metropolitan heart of Colombia is in part fueled by its hundreds of eclectic and authentic dining hot spots, fantastic wines, and frequent foodie festivals. Ask the locals where they like to eat, then walk off your empanadas and aji with a stroll through the historic district of La Candelaria or during an indulgent shopping adventure on the North Side.

Museo Historico de la Policia

Tour the former headquarters of Bogotá’s police force and learn about cocaine-kingpin Pablo Escobar’s demise in 1993. There's a model dummy of his bullet-ridden corpse.

We had a wonderful tour guide- Christian - who like all the tour guides are police officers and speak amazing english. As of Jan 2020 the english tours were 10 and 3pm. But I had the sense it could change. Great history and exhibits related to Pablo Escobar and a wonderful view from the roof top. Certainly add this to your list!
