 Plaza Altamira by ezaguryk
Advantages it is that you have the metro just there and bus station that connect with different places of Caracas. Also you will find several good, cheap hotels around.
During a time this plaza was very emblematical since it was yields of politics disputes, the opponents to the government and military that were against the government take the plaza
By almost a year, Always was crowded and was not very safe several tragedies happen there due to politic. Know it is very safe to be there :-) Leave a Comment Address: AltamiraDirections: Av. luis roche, estacion del metro Plaza Altamira

In the map, I thought Parque Central was a really huge park, with some greenery at least.
Gosh, how wrong I was! It actually is a huge massive series of inter-connected buildings, very very grey, ugly and old.
At the basement, there is a maze of shops and restaurants but I was highly amused by how RETRO this place looked. It was built in the 1960s and has two of the tallest towers in Venezuela.
One of the towers, Torre Este, had a huge fire in October 2004 on the top handful of floors, and so, that part of the ‘park’ was a complete disaster when I was there, as workers closed up certain areas to restore the tower. I am sure it is restored now.
The Museo de Teclado, Museo de Los Ninos (Children's Museum) and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Museum of Contemporary Art) are located here. Leave a Comment Directions: Get off at Bellas Artes metro station and look around for 2 tall towers. There is a road heading perpendicularly off Avenida Mexico

The entrance to the Botanical Garden is just next to the entrance to the University. On 70 hectare there are over 2200 species and all together 150 000 plants. There are a few greenhouses and there are walking paths for nice walks and a couple of ponds. In the garden you will find Venezuelan species but also plants from all over the world. There are several very big and beautiful trees.
The Botanical Garden was created by Dr Tobías Lasser in 1945 and in 1958 it opened up to the public.
The garden is open every day between 8.30 - 16.30. Admission was 1BsF (June 2008). Leave a Comment Phone: 0212 - 605 3973Directions: South of the busy Autopista Francisco Fajardo. Nearest metro stop: Plaza Venezuela.Website: www.fibv.org.ve
