Things to do in Bogota, Colombia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

July 9, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Ten million people call vibrant, passionate, sprawling Bogota home. The energy of this metropolitan heart of Colombia is in part fueled by its hundreds of eclectic and authentic dining hot spots, fantastic wines, and frequent foodie festivals. Ask the locals where they like to eat, then walk off your empanadas and aji with a stroll through the historic district of La Candelaria or during an indulgent shopping adventure on the North Side.

One of the oldest churches here. Impressive artworks and main altar. I think this is the church where you aren't supposed to take pictures.

The beginning of the colonization of Colombia can be learned as you walk the streets of Candelaria. The impressive effort to establish their religion in the New World can be appreciated inside this church!

Santuario Nuestra Senora del Carmen

Reviewed By phutty - Tallinn, Estonia

This stunning church will impress you before you even walk in the door for its beautiful design, which is colourful without being too much. The interior is the same, glorious and vibrant but still serene. It makes for great photos, and indeed immediately made my list of favourite churches around the world.

Catedral Primada de Bogota

Located in Bolivar Square, this is the largest cathedral in Colombia and one of the largest in South America. It's a magnificent example of neoclassical architecture and is filled with colonial paintings and ornate decorations.

This cathedral is located on Bolivar Square and is a must visit as it is beautiful and has the largest organ in South America.
