There is an historical place where you can find from historical and political events to horror stories. You can do a guided tour at day or if you consider a brave you can do it at night.
From Bolivar's Plaza (Between 7th and 8th Avenue and between 10th and 11th streets) you can see the National Capitol which is one of the most important architectonic constructions in the city; the Liévano Palace, where is the Mayor of Bogota; the Primatial Cathedral, which was constructed in 1539 and reconstructed several times; and the Palace of Justice which was the first building destroyed during the "Bogotazo" in 1948, and then, in 1985 was destroyed again by members of an insurgent group called M-19. It was reconstructed again in 1998.
In the route you can find the San Carlo's Palace, the Manuelita Saenz's House, the Christopher Columbus Theater, the Rafael Pombo's House, the Military Museum, the Gilberto Alzate Avendaño's Foundation, the National Mint, the Luis Angel Arango Library, the Botero's Museum and the "Chorro de Quevedo" where Bogota was founded.

At nights the guides can tell you about some ghost histories in this antique housees and real life events that will surely amaze you.
And finally you can't leave without taste the "Chicha Bogotana". It's a tradittional fermented drink made from corn. But be aware! It is very strong.
