Visit the Monastery of São Francisco and the unique Chapel of Bones.

Walk to Praça do Giraldo, just a few minutes away, which represents the heart of the city. See the Cathedral, or Sé, a Romanesque-Gothic fortress church of undeniable beauty, especially for its cloister. At the end of the visit, savour lunch and enjoy some free time in the city.
