Botero's works alongside his personal collection — Picassos and Dalís included — in a beautiful colonial house in La Candelaria. Free to enter, with a nice coffee shop at the back.
PrudenciaWood-fire tasting menu · lunch only310 mFor my money one of the two best restaurants in Colombia. Only open at lunch, with a five-to-seven-course menu. It's not cheap, but it is incredible. The chef, Mario, is one of a kind: he cooks everything con leña — over a wood fire — and the quality of the produce is superb. It is a world-class restaurant, and I can't recommend the experience enough.
Plaza de BolívarArt & culture340 mThe main square of Bogotá. Nothing to write home about, but it is the centre of the city.
Museo del OroArt & culture590 mGo — but please don't leave thinking some pieces of gold from hundreds of years ago are the epitome of Bogotano culture. The living version is on the walls and in the galleries.
Casa del ReyColombian barbecue1.3 kmColombian barbecue in a stunningly converted colonial house. It is where I got married — but it's also just a great place for a Sunday lunch with family. Check whether they have events on, too: I've been to a few fun DJ nights there.
MAMBO — Museo de Arte ModernoArt & culture1.6 kmThe modern art museum. Worth checking out if you're into museums — although only if you're into museums.
