Hotels in La Candelaria, Bogotá

La Candelaria is Bogotá's historic centre — the colonial quarter of narrow streets, whitewashed churches, the Gold Museum (the greatest pre-Columbian collection in the world), the Botero Museum, the Plaza de Bolívar and the original city Quesada founded in 1538. Bus drivers treat red lights as suggestions; pockets require the usual big-city attention; but the concentration of museums and colonial architecture is extraordinary, and the altitude hits you on the steep climb to the Monserrate cable car above. For first-time visitors who want the capital's history and world-class museums at very affordable prices, La Candelaria is the practical base.
