Bogotá is the capital and largest city of Colombia, situated at 2,600 meters (8,530 feet) above sea level on a high Andean plateau, making it one of the world's highest capital cities. Home to approximately 8 million city residents and 11 million in the metro area, it operates on Colombia Time (COT, UTC-5), a fixed year-round offset. Bogotá has undergone one of the most remarkable urban transformations in the developing world — from one of the world's most dangerous cities in the early 1990s (during the peak of the Medellín Cartel era) to a modern, vibrant metropolis celebrated for urban innovation. The city's ciclovía program, which closes 120 km of roads to cars every Sunday for cyclists and pedestrians, has been replicated worldwide. Colombia is the world's top producer of emeralds and a major coffee, cut flower, and oil producer. Bogotá's Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) houses the world's largest collection of pre-Columbian gold artifacts.
