    This is a nice place to walk around, eat, dance, shop or even just to people watch, hang out. I would recommend tough not walking around at night since, as it is seen in cities throughout the world, you start to see questionable characters hanging out at night. But def. a visit to some of malecon's many restaurants and hang outs is a must. See more..

20. 4.5 Museo de Arte Moderno Ramirez Villamizar (9 reviews)
    - Modern sculptures
    Spent 1-2 hours Art Museums
    
    
    This is the Museum of Modern Art of Pamplona, but 90 % of the works are actually from the personal collection of Miguel Vajdh, the artist born in Pamplona and died in Bogota. He was no doubt an innovative sculptor, most of his works were done on wood and metal. Each piece of at is many pieces of art, as you can look at it from so many angles, that it transforms itself before your eyes. The museum has been created in one of most ancient colonial houses over the main square of Pamplona, a beautiful building restored with the idea of housing a collection of contemporary art. Sadly enough, very few people visit the museum, “around six or seven a week” according to the information provided by one of the guards at the entrance. See more..
