The northern district of Bogotá is a more upmarket area with residential areas, hotels, restaurants shopping centres, bars and night clubs. The area between Carreras 11 - 15 and Calles 81 - 84 is the Zona Rosa, where you find many of the night clubs and bars.
During my first visit to Bogotá I didn’t visit this area, but the second time I visited I came here to walk around and to buy a book to read in English. I found books at Tower Records in Atlantis shopping centre. Leave a Comment

Bogota is a semicircular city, its historical centre is at the foot of the mountain, then it extended in the plain, so that the final shape is almos a half-circle.
The Southern part is considered to be the popular one, while the Northern side is more well-off: Lago, Unicentro are the best residential 'barrios' where the main shopping centres are located Leave a Comment

I like visiting Military Museums and this one in Bogota was nice. I am not sure if this is also called the Armed Forces Museum of Bogota, but what I do remember is the FAC2008 Aircraft perfectly preserved. There are other planes that would appeal to plane enthusiasts.
The Army room has a lot of firearms, the Navy room has naval ship models and then of course, the Air Force Room. It was nice walking through the rooms and then finally going out to see the planes. It does not take too long to see this place, but you will enjoy taking pictures.
I think when I went there was no entrance fee, because I don’t remember having to pay (must have been a special day?)

 Metropolitan Park Simon
Bolivar, Bogota, Colombia by jumpingnorman, 4 more photos
In 1986, Pope Paul IV's visited this area of Bogota and a mass was celebrated – these grounds later became this park loved by Bogotenos. And I enjoyed the green expanse and the wonderful trees, ponds/lakes and little fountains.
The park is actually formed by five minor parks: The Simon Bolivar, El Salitre, Parque de los Novios, Unidad Deportiva El Salitre and Jardín Botánico José Celestino Mutis.
It was drizzling a little when I visited and so here were not too many people, but the huge park does have an amusement park, aqua-park, Children's Museum and even a coliseum.
Other important events held here included shows of Metallica, Roger Waters, Iron Maiden and each year, they celebrate Rock al parque. Bogotenos do love music! Leave a Comment

 the fat cat by call_me_rhia
The collection includes 123 Botero paintings, sculptures, and drawings - as well as many paintings and scultpures by artists that Botero liked a lot - mainly impressionists (see the wonderful Pissarro painting in the first exhibition room) and surrealists (
including some fine Miro, Dali and Ernst works) that were part of the artist's private collection.
The museum is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every day except on Sunday, when it closes at 5 p.m. It's closed all day on Tuesday and entrance is free. Photos are allowed, provided you don't use a flash. Leave a Comment Address: Calle 11 # 4 - 21Phone: 1 3431223Directions: la Candelaria

Mudéjar is the name given to a style of Iberian architecture and decoration of the 12th to 16th centuries, which was influenced by Moorish architecture. Have a look at the choir inside to see what I mean. Leave a Comment Address: calle 11 con carrera 4Ş, on the cornerPhone: +57 1 3421262Directions: la Candelaria
