Palacio Quemado ligger intill katedralen i La Paz och mittemot lagstiftningspalatset där den bolivianska kongressen möts. Turister får inte komma in i presidentpalatset, men det är värt att besöka torget och kolla in den imponerande fasaden. Det sker också en vaktbyte en gång om dagen.
The Presidential Palacexa0is located on Plaza Murilloxa0next to the La Paz Cathedral and across the Congress building. Situated in the center of La Paz, the palace is easy walking distance from Plaza San Francisco, Sagarnaga Street, Museo Nacional de Arte, Museo de Coca, and Witches Market.
The Presidential Palace is not open to tourists, but it may be admired any day of the week from Plaza Murillo. La Paz has a temperate spring-like climate year-round, with cooler temperatures from November through March. If you can, time a visit in May/June to experience the Festival of the Great Power (Fiesta del Gran Poder), featuring a colorful parade with brass bands and dancers.
Next door, atop a steep hill lies the impressive La Paz Cathedral. First built in the 17th century using bricks, lime, and stone, the church was reconstructed and re-opened in 1925. Featuring an immense metal dome, thick columns, heavy bronze doors with exquisite carvings, and stained glass windows depicting local politicians, the church is magnificent, however, photography is not permitted.
