The Plaza de Bolivar is central to the city's historic district and epitomizes Bogota's charms with its cobblestones and statue of Simón Bolivar and combination of historic and new buildings. The landscape of the city is dominated by the Andes that surround it and Cerro de Monserrate, the peak that rises in the middle of the city to more than 10,000 feet above sea level crowned with a whitewashed church. The north and northwest areas of the city are upscale and tend to be where tourists and travelers find themselves, including the Zona Rosa (or Pink Zone) famous for its night club scene. Zona G or El Chapinero is just to the north of the historic downtown and features chic modern Bogota hotels and a gourmet dining scene second to none.
