    Wonderful iconic place. The theater is totally worth visiting. Located in front of the San Carlos Palace, is one of the most beautiful streets of La Candelaria Neighborhood. The theater is 125 years old, and it has been recently renovated to all of its classic splendor. It usually has a broad program of performances, you can buy tickets on line. When visiting Bogota, this is a Must.

    Amazing place!, The european architecture of the XIX century is very beautiful and is a small but well maintained teather. If you have the opportunity, visit it. And after that, you can walk the bohemian neighborhood, visit a couple of museums or dine in a eclectic restaurant.

    The venue went through a three year restoration where they did a magnificent job not only in the main chamber but the foyer as well. This foyer is specially notable since that's where they hold small, almost personal, concerts including "Colón acústico": free midday concerts. Highly recommend this theater if you have a chance to attend a spectacle, or alternatively to take the tour inside Italian architect Pietro Cantini's national monument: Teatro Colon

    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.

    My favourite place in the city center. After its reopening, it has had a very active agenda with theatre, opera and other musical events. The architecture is also amazing and the prices are normally accessible

    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.

    The best theather in Bogotá, its neoclassical style is amazing

    Just amazing. I highly recommend not to choose the chairs near the scenario. Unless you know the language the Opera is, you may need to read the subtitles displayed in a not-at-all convenient place for these specific seats.

    This is real beautiful theater. Must visit to know better about Colombian history. The personnel is nice. Is interesting to visit the parts of the theater as a museum, lots of things happened here.

    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.

    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”.
