About Bellas Artes

Bellas Artes is a cultural landmark in Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, found on Avenida 2 Norte. It is a handy anchor for a walk through this part of the city, and a good place to pause and look around before moving on.

Tips for your visit

Plan on 20 to 30 minutes if you only want to see the building and its surroundings from the street, longer if you can go inside.
Check current opening hours and access rules before you go, as public entry to cultural buildings can vary.
Go in the morning or late afternoon, when Cali is cooler and the light is softer for photos.
Wear comfortable shoes and carry water, since the best way to take in the neighbourhood is on foot.
