Audio Guide of Casa de la Libertad

Generally, the museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday (09:00 to 12:30 and 14:30 to 18:30) and on Sunday mornings (09:00 to 12:00). It is advisable to check before you go, as it is usually closed on Mondays for maintenance. You can see its exact location and current status on Google Maps.

The price is very affordable: foreign visitors usually pay around 15 Bs, and Bolivian nationals 10 Bs. There are discounts for students and children, so remember to bring your ID to access these reduced rates.

A complete and detailed visit will take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. This is enough time to appreciate the Hall of Independence and the galleries without rushing.

It is the cradle of the nation: Bolivia’s Declaration of Independence was signed here in 1825. It houses invaluable relics, such as the remains of Juana Azurduy and the first portrait of Simón Bolívar. For more historical details, visit the website of the BCB Cultural Foundation.

I suggest going on a weekday morning, right after opening (09:00 am), to avoid crowds and school groups. That way, you can take photos of the Hall of Independence in complete peace.

As it is a historic viceregal building, full accessibility is limited, although the ground floor and main courtyard are accessible. It is recommended to ask the staff at the entrance for assistance with access.

You are right on Plaza 25 de Mayo, the heart of Sucre, so the Metropolitan Cathedral is just across the street. You can also visit the Treasure Museum or enjoy a coffee under the arcades of the square.

If you want to take photographs, you will have to pay a small extra camera fee, so bring cash in small change. To truly understand what you are seeing, I highly recommend using a professional audio guide such as those from IAudioguia.
