Caracas Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Further afield are some more colonial gems, including the Museo de Arte Colonial (Museum of Colonial Art) in San Bernadino and the beautiful little 16th-century township (now suburb) of El Hatillo southeast of the centre. And most uplifting of all is the teleférico (cable car) that chugs up the neighbouring mountain of El Ávila.
Or if a lively atmosphere and good food are what you're after you'll do well in the Spanish quarter of La Candelaria or the glitzy modern district of Las Mercedes.
