Colpatria Tower
Torre Colpatria
A 196-metre skyscraper and Bogotá landmark, with an open-air observation deck on the top floor offering 360-degree views of the city and the eastern mountains.
The tower was completed in 1979 and was once Colombia's tallest building. Its exterior LED light show is a signature of the city's night skyline. The 48th floor has an open observation deck, where you can get close views of Monserrate and a distant panorama of the whole highland city. It saves time compared with climbing the mountain, making it ideal for visitors with limited time. Opening hours are usually Friday to Sunday and on holidays (roughly 11:00–19:00, subject to on-site confirmation). Admission is about 10,000–15,000 pesos. It is located near Carrera 7 and Calle 26, close to the International Centre district.
