Mount Monserrate
What the experts agree on
Monserrate's hilltop basilica offers breathtaking city views and dramatic sunsets, though smog can obscure them. The funicular ride up this 3,152m peak is iconic, but expect crowds during religious festivals.
“Although dense smog often obscures the skyline, the view of chaotic Bogotá from Monserrate Hill is still breathtaking, and the sunsets are spectacular.”
