Botero Plaza and Downtown Art Tour

Twenty-three Botero bronzes in one plaza, and the museum that explains why they are there.

Overview

Fernando Botero gave his home city an extraordinary collection, and it sits outdoors in the middle of downtown. The plaza is free, chaotic and completely worth it, and the museum beside it holds the paintings that make the sculptures make sense.

Downtown is best visited with a guide and a driver waiting. We keep the route tight, cover the Rafael Uribe palace and the old center, and take you out before the afternoon crowds.
