Excellent location, but the place is really boring. I have been to all the museums of Caracas and this is not really worth your visit. The Afroamerican Museum in San Bernardino (private) is way better than this.
The art galleries are boring. People are nice and well-mannered. The library is cool. Everything else here is better than the art galleries.
Good place to have a coffee and sit with your friends, but there are better museums to get in touch with the local culture. MAC is still better than this - even it is not what is used to be -.

His birthplace and an adjacent museum honor Simon Bolivar, “El Liberator”, who achieved independence from Spain for Venezuela and other South American countries.
This place is the original birth place of Simn Bolivar, but it was for many years used for many different things. some history lovers, rebuilt it and re-furnished it to give them a real 1800ish look and feel. The Guides are very kind and know many gossips form the time.
Nice visit, nice place. The Caracas Downtown is kind and nice recovered for the visitors. Well you may have some care and not get alone... use a local to guide your trip...thiis is true to many latinamerican places...

Yes you might be thinking- aren't zoos a but passé. Are these places good for the animals.
Well this small independent zoo is different and is well worth the visit. Go see it and support it and you'll understand why this is such a fantastic spot.

The remains of celebrated Venezuelans, including Simon Bolivar, are housed inside this building, whose walls and ceilings display the most famous Venezuelan independence battle scenes.
Unreal. Surreal. The only IMAX-type theater in the world for a dead person. Truly mind blowing. I had wondered what the big ugly building crowding the Panteon from behind was, and then I entered...and was lucky enough even to see the changing of the guard. But first: the original Panteon Nacional is a stunning and solemn place. The murals and stonework are fantastic. The ugly addition, inaugurated two years ago (if I am not mistaken) by Chavez himself, is such an incredible disgrace to the mortal remains of a person many consider to be a true hero that it must be seen. There's no question that Bolivar rightly plays in the minds of the people in many countries, but one must visit the Panteon Nacional to see how the current administration in Venezuela plays the mortal remains of a hero for many. The guards' uniforms don't fit, the protocol is laughable, the lighting done without any taste or aesthetic. Yet there in that space rest the remains (supposedly) of Bolivar. Go for a visit and take in the show. And with all due respect to Bolivar and his legacy, continue on to the Museo Nacional in Bogota for a very well curated exploration of the man and the Mission...and the controversy untold in Venezuela. Enjoy!

One building houses two institutions: the National Art Gallery, with a large collection of Venezuelan art, and a museum, with art from around the world. The top floor Terrace offers beautiful views of the city.
Apart from the free museums (closed Mondays), the surrounding area is lovely and tranquil. It's nice to just relax on a stone bench, enjoying an ice cream, or contemplate away from the busy avenues. It's an easy, few blocks' walk from Bellas Artes metro station.

Cool place if you are looking for amazing views of the city of Caracas and La Guaira port and coastline. The cabins were completely modified as well as the entire facilities back in the early 2000's and are in great conditions. The cost is very cheap and for family or couple trip. I will recommend to walk couple miles to Galipan which is a small town in the mountain and if you are interested in hiking go to El Picacho which is a small peak near Galipan with amazing views and vibes!!!
Pros: Nature and food are great and there is the possibility to stay overnight at Galipan in their many Posadas (BB's) but always is recommended to book first in high seasons.
Cons: Maintenance at main teleférico station is not the best and due to the cheap fares is crowded on weekends.

This path walk is simply fascinating. This historic place for Venezuelans is really in very good shape.
It is secured by national guard.
The monument of battles is really fantastic has great significance for the national history and it has a lake with amazing views.
Really recommended for outdoor activities in Caracas if you travel for vacation.
Totally recommended.
