Colombia's capital, situated on a high savanna plateau at 2,600 meters, is a city of contrasts between colonial La Candelaria, modernist civic towers, and sprawling residential districts. The Gold Museum houses the world's largest collection of pre-Columbian goldwork, while Monserrate peak provides a cable-car ascent above the urban skyline. The long Ciclovía route closes major avenues to vehicles each Sunday for cyclists and pedestrians.
