○ Cine Colombia ○


Cine Colombia is one of the movie theater companies in Bogota. You can find it´s theaters at many different malls and places like Andino, Unicentro, Avenida Chile, Hacienda Santa Bárbara, Gran Estación, Metrópolis, Portal de la 80 and many more. In my opinion Cine Colombia has the best movie theaters with very comfortable chairs and the newest movies. You can choose your sitting spot which is great because you can sit in your favorite spot even if you aren't the first person in the theater and you can even book your spot in the movie through internet or a phone call.

Who doesn't like delicious popcorn and a cup of soda for the movie? Cine Colombia not only offers these, it offers a wide variety of fast food and drinks perfect for watching a movie.Sodas, water, juice, sandwiches, hot dogs, nachos, potato chips, popcorn and         candies are the best options from their menu.


                                        
Personally I think Cine Colombia is the best movie theater company in Bogotá because it has a great service with very kind staff that are always willing to help you, really comfortable seats, the best movies and they are very punctual.
