La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia , while Sucre is the constitutional capital and the seat of the Supreme Court.

The best time to visit La Paz is during the dry season from November to April, when conditions are most favourable for outdoor exploration and travel between towns. The rainy season (May to October) brings lush greenery but can make some rural roads difficult to navigate. Local festivals and holidays may also influence the best timing for a visit.

Public transport in La Paz is largely underdeveloped compared to its counterparts in Europe and East Asia, or even other South American cities. Due to narrow streets driving is not recommended. Most of the time, a taxi is often preferred.
