Things to do in Bogota, Colombia: The Best Museums

December 31, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

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.

This is a nice museum and besides the Botero museum, city square is near by and many restaurants. There are many shops around the place. Graffity in the area is something else.

Colombian art collection from the colonial period to the present.

Reviewed By viajera1741 - Washington DC, United States

This art gallery is right next to the Botero and worth a visit for its eclectic collection of colonial excesses and works by contemporary artists.

Museo Colonial

Reviewed By pbaudit

A hidden treasure. The museum provides history of the Colonial period of Columbia. Most of the exhibits are in both Spanish and English. This is an underappreciated museum with more guards than patrons at any one time. It should take about 30-45 minutes to go through the 4 main exhibit halls/rooms.

Museo Botero del Banco de la Republica

Great little museum containing works of renowned Colombian painter and sculptor, Fernando Botero.

Reviewed By TallTravels29 - San Jose, United States

I’ve been to museums all over the world but none with a collection as charming and bountiful (pun fully intended) as this one. Botero’s voluptuous heroines and portly heroes jump off the canvas in exuberant delight and my personal favourite the Mona Lisa should truly replace DaVinci’s version as the world’s greatest masterpiece. The rest of the collection wasn’t pretty strong too - Picasso, Chagall, Renoir - I was impressed at the range of artists. This is truly worth a visit.

The place is for sure one of the most beautiful places to visit in Bogota. The paintings and murals inside are impressive.
