Museo Quinta de Bolívar was interesting to visit. It has a lot of history, but the atmosphere felt a little unusual to me. It wasn’t the most fun stop on my trip, but it was still meaningful to see such an important historical place
Very nice and romantic setting with the original atmosphere of the 1800s. I really liked the garden and the Colibris (hummingbirds) . On Wednesdays from 2to 5 pm it's free entrance otherwise they have dual prices for Colombians 8000 for foreigners 18000 COP . Come on Wednesday so you pay nothing 😃
Wonderful (and free)! Right next to the base of Monserrate (good to pair both). Beautiful extensive gardens, and a duly preserved house filled with artifacts from Simon Bolivar’s life. If you like gardens and history then this is your stop. One of my favorite things I saw in Bogotá.
The botanical garden is beautiful and feels like walking through time. It’s hard to believe this is in the middle of Bogota. A serene escape.
Amazing to see a part of history, Bolivar lived in this house 423 days.. well maintained and easy to walk around. While their we had the pleasure of observing kids on a field trip, and their teacher was an excellent source of information so important for children to learn about history.
