This city is immense and viewed from the vantage point of Monseratte it seemed to fill the entire plain below. The phenomonal difference in the northern and southern suburbs is sometimes ovewhelming but both have thier own beauty. In the the north there are elegant and palatial homes, areas of great beauty and historical interest, modern shopping malls and restaurant areas (Zona Rosa). You can buy emeralds, sleep in comfortable and expensive hotels, and pretend for a while that this is a city in central Europe. In the south you will experience the shanty towns, poverty at ground level, literally, and some large part of the real Colombia which is the friendliness and happy disposition of the people.
The city offers a multitude of historical and interesting sites all of which are better described in the Lonely Planet but the city itself offers more of the vibrancy that is Colombian, more of the energy that is Latin America and more of the desire to be seen to compete with the 'real' world. Well worth every blister.
