Good breakfast included at the hostel. The crepe is very good. Not too much egg and sugar. The woman at the hostel is very nice and leaves us her Transmilenio card.
In Bogota there is no metro, but there is a double and even triple bus line that replaces it, although Bogota people complain that it is no longer enough to cover the needs of the city.
Asking for a recharging point, we meet a German woman who has been in Colombia for 30 years. She helps us to take an urban bus to get to Simón Bolívar square as she says it goes to the same place and is cheaper than TransMilenio.
Botero Museum
First we visit the Botero Museum (free) and the Mint (free). Then we go down to the Plaza de Bolivar.
Art Museum
We visit the Candelaria, the colonial neighborhood of Bogota, the Primate Cathedral, the Santa Clara Church Museum, the Capitol, the Palace of Justice, Casa Nariño, everything is very close. There are a lot of police but also life seekers.
La Candelaria
Santa Clara Church and Museum
After lunch we visit the Gold Museum, it's worth it.
We return by TransMilenio to Chapinero. It's a bit complicated. We have to ask several times. The system is too small for such a big city.
Gold Museum
On 57th street there is a café that takes a long time to serve a red wine and a chocolate croissant, but it is worth it. Across from La Avellana. They're very nice young boys.
On the way back to the hostel we take our bags. They've been great and it's very good. I don't understand why they don't put a sign on the front to show it's a hostel. They say they've just moved in.
We called the taxi driver from yesterday but he's late so we take another taxi. He's a good conversationalist and we exchange impressions of his country, Latin America and Spain.
Our flight leaves at 00:30 hours. When we arrive at the VAT refund service we realize that the accommodation is not included, so we did not indicate in the accommodation on the first day is not fulfilled.
We are not used to book the accommodations in advance, but in Colombia it has been very useful to us, so much so that Booking immediately answered our complaint by returning to us not only the amount we should not have paid but with a small compensation.
