Castillo San Felipe Fortress
Check out the cannons and tunnels. They’re super interesting, but I didn’t realize they were there until after I missed them!
My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, and some areas have uneven surfaces.
If you want a stunning view, climb to the top of the fortress before sunset. The colors over the city are incredible!
Gold Museum Bogota
Be prepared for some sections to be crowded, especially the main exhibits. I'd say go in the afternoon, around 3 PM, when it seemed less busy.
I suggest downloading a map of the museum beforehand. It helped me a lot since the layout can be a bit confusing. Don’t waste time wandering aimlessly!
Gold Museum
Explora Park
National Museum of Colombia
I found the signs a bit confusing, so I recommend downloading their app before your visit. It helped me navigate and learn more about the exhibits.
i recommend checking out the museum's free entrance days, which can save you a few bucks. i went on a sunday and it was packed but worth it.
Botero Museum
If you're into photography, take time to explore the outside of the museum too. The architecture is just as unique as the art inside!
Maloka Interactive Center
The Maloka Museum
I recommend getting there right when the museum opens at 10 AM. It gets crowded later, and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, you'll have a better chance to interact with the staff who are super helpful.
Museum of Contemporary Art in Medellin
Bring a reusable water bottle; there are nice places to sit and enjoy the garden outside, and you'll want to stay hydrated without spending on drinks inside.
I recommend checking out their schedule online before you go, as they sometimes have special exhibits or events that can really enhance your experience.
Check if there's a discount available for students or seniors; I was able to save a couple of bucks with my student ID, which made my visit feel even better!
Don't skip the gift shop! I found some really unique souvenirs that weren't just the usual touristy stuff and at reasonable prices.
Castle Museum
I suggest checking out the museum's schedule for special exhibitions before you go; I stumbled upon an amazing show that wasn't on my radar. Totally worth it!
Try to avoid weekends if you can; the lines can get long and it's super busy. If you must go then, I say show up right when it opens at 10 AM!
