Another beautiful place in the heart of downtown Bogota. You can spend about 2-3 hours here very happily exploring different arts and sculptures. Different museums are interconnected here and there is a beautiful cafe for snacks and drinks located in the museum.

Another great FREE way of spending 1-3 hours. If you like art and amazing sculptures come to Botero Museum to see masterpieces by Fernando Botero, Chagall, Degas and even Picasso!! There is lots to see and behind every door in every room a security personal is keeping a close eye on all the valuable pieces. There is a gorgeous courtyard and Cafe as well as a really cool coin museum attached.

Great, free museum in a touristy portion of Bogotá. A lot of galleries highlighting not only Boteros paintings, but his drawings, sculptures , and also other artists and works from his collection, including Leger, Picasso, Braque, and so on. It is also connected to a series of other museums through a central plaza. Definitely worth the trip.

It is Free. Small and quaint. Great outdoor patio to sit and enjoy the fresh air. Near other museums and they connect so can easily see those too (e.g. Coin Museum) In the beautiful neighborhood of La Candelaria which is a very walkable area near many other sites.
