Nice place! Nice restaurants and museums around! You can walk around the 7th street but you must be careful!

El Capitolio Nacional es un edificio neoclásico impresionante e imponente en la Plaza Bolívar; un espacio amplio, bien mantenido e interesante. Es la sede del Congreso Nacional y el centro del poder colombiano.
