The UniAndes campus is in the historic district called La Candelaria. Well-situated and close to public transportation, the University enjoys easy access to many important cultural and academic sites: The Gold Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Luis Ángel Arango Library, and the National Library, along with local architectural treasures. It is also close to many important government sites: Casa de Nariño (home of the President), the National Capital and the Hall of Justice. The campuss spectacular location at the foot of Monserrate, the symbol of the city, is a link to nature and peace and quiet.
