Teatro Colón Bogotá

It's a beautiful theatre inside; the effort to maintain the original 1892 building while adapting it to the new technologies available is outstanding; However, the exterior is an affront to the La Candelaria neighborhood, because it stands out very badly against every building 4 blocks around. This is the oldest part of the city (built from the 16th to the beginning of the 18th century) and the designers didn't care at all about that, because they built a pile of modernist cubes on top of the original building.

The Colon Theater is the icon of the arts in the center of Bogotá, it was built in 1885 by the Italian architect Pietro Cantini and has been listed by the British BBC as one of the eight most amazing theaters in the world due to its architecture, describing it as a “Colombian beauty”.

It's a beautiful theater. The view and sounds it's great.

It's marvelous, beautiful, such a great place with a lot of history behind.

Wonderful old style elegant theater. However, the immediate area needs some visible security protocol after evening concerts. It gets rather spooky after most people leave.

Simply marvelous. A must see in Bogotá. Try the guided tour with the chance to be at the scene.

Really beautiful building outside and inside, it has parking nearby.
I did not see access for wheelchairs because there are a lot of stairs.
Chairs were confortable and the place had enough ventilation and ilumination.
It did not have a cafeteria inside but outside you can find severl options. If you arrive with time you can visit the center of the city very beautiful

The play was well organized very fast the entrance and at the you could leave quickly.
