Take the cable car to the top of the mountain and you can see the whole Bogota. The top of the mountain is 3000 meters above sea level. There is a beautiful church on top.

The ticket was very convenient to use with a QR code, allowing me to skip the ticket purchase line. However, there was still a queue for entry. I took the funicular up and the cable car down, and I’d recommend doing the same or reversing the order to experience both transport options—both were fun in their own way. The staff were very helpful, making everything easy to navigate. The views from the peak and the church were absolutely spectacular, making the trip well worth it!

The Gold Museum of the famous attractions of Bogota, Colombia. It houses about 30,000 fine gold artifacts made by Indians from the 20th century BC to the 16th century AD, displayed by different periods and regions. The gold museum exhibits are only a small part of the Indian artifacts that have been unearthed, and many of the precious artworks have been almost stolen by colonists in Spain and other countries in centuries. But from these preserved gold instruments, people can also see the wisdom and artistic level of the Colombian people. Tickets are 4,000 pesos/person, equivalent to less than 6 yuan, free to visit on Sunday.
Bogota Gold Museum, the exhibits are worth seeing, in fact, not only gold but also pottery, etc., it is actually free to visit, there are quite a lot of people, so the five-star recommendation is shared with everyone, it is worth coming

Plaza Bolivar is located in the heart of the old town of Bogota, the capital, and is also the center of power in Colombia. It is surrounded by the cathedral, the Congress, the presidential palace and the city hall. The Botero Art Museum nearby is the most recommended, where there are a group of cute "fat guys" waiting for you to discover
There are all kinds of people coming and going in Plaza Bolivar, children chasing pigeons in the square, vendors selling corn and grilled sausages, a steaming scene of life. I also met three groups of locals who wanted to take pictures with me. Maybe they rarely see... Asians! This is the day I saw the most people in Colombia. The rest of the time I was shooting birds in the forest... Haha!
Welcome to travel to Colombia ✈️

This is a museum that displays jewelry, not only gems but also gold. I think if you like these kind of sparkling and glittering things, you can come and have a look. I personally am not particularly interested and just took a casual look.
It's a small museum, mainly displaying some jewellery. I have no interest in it at all, but I came here to accompany others. However, I think its small courtyard is quite beautiful, and it is rare to see it in this country.

The Portello Museum is a very special museum, and all the exhibits here are beyond your imagination. There is a fat version of Mona Lisa, a weird-shaped house, and a very dreamy forest painting. Everything is so unique and full of design inspiration. It is definitely worth a visit.
The Botero Museum in Bogota, Colombia, is a museum full of creativity. Many classic works here are abstract or exaggerated, which is very unique and gives people a new visual experience.

Carrera 7 is the most important commercial street in Bogota, Colombia. The street is not very wide, but it is full of shops and banks and restaurants on both sides, and the business atmosphere is very strong. If you're shopping or want to eat food, don't miss this street.
