The 10 Best Free Things to do in Caracas, Capital Region
Santiago de Leon de Caracas, Venezuela's capital, sits in Cerro Avila Valley, where mountain ranges soar 8000 feet from the Caribbean. Once inhabited by Toromaimo Indians, the city was founded by the Spanish in 1567. Chacao is the see-and-be-seen place to eat, drink and socialize, but restaurant destination Las Mercedes is one of the few places safe to walk around. Iglesia de San Francisco is a beautiful example of colonial architecture. Mountainous Parque Nacional El Avila teems with tempting trails.

Reviewed By JaroslavNecas - Brno, Czech Republic
Building seems to be repaired for a short time, it looks well from the front but a bit weird from different sides. Exhibition is dedicated to national heroes who fought for independence during 19th century. Main part is big hall with excavated remains of Simon Bolívar guarded by 4 honor guards.
