FLIGHTS TO COLOMBIA
Emirates flights to Bogotá land at El Dorado International Airport with a stop in Miami on the way. Colombia’s capital city, and its largest, sits at over 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) above sea level on a plateau of the majestic Andes mountains.
Bogotá offers some of the best of Colombia’s art, culture and delicious local food. Start with a wander around the historic area of La Candelaria. You can discover incredible street murals and cobbled streets with colorful Spanish colonial buildings. Buskers fill the air with music and performers entertain the crowds in Plaza de Bolívar, where you’ll find many of the main attractions.
These include the Catedral Primada de Colombia, the Casa de Nariño (the residence of the Colombian president), the striking Santuario Nuestra Señora del Carmen church with its distinct red and white stripes, and the popular Museo del Oro, or Gold Museum.
If you’re looking for art galleries, a must-see is the Botero Museum. This pretty, colonial mansion features the rotund figures of Fernando Botero, a famous Colombian artist and sculptor who created the distinct ‘Boterismo’ style.
In the evening, Bogotá’s vibrant nightlife offers global cuisine, high-end restaurants, stylish bars, salsa clubs and rowdy pubs, where you can join the locals for a game of tejo, Colombia’s noisy national sport.
