7. Usaquén

Frisby Usaquén, Bogotá

If you are more of a laid-back type of tourist than an active city person, Usaquén is the neighborhood for you. It is a destination that attracts tourists who are into the slow-paced, quiet life and the small-town vibe. Most of the structures here are just like those of La Candelaria’s, showcasing Spanish Colonial style with a quintessential charm. Dining spots here are less extravagant than those you see in upscale neighborhoods but nothing short of impressive. Unwind in the family-friendly Usaquén Park, and check out as many cafes and pubs as you can in the area. On Sundays, the Usaquén flea market takes place in the park, featuring local vendors selling artisan products, food stands, and street musicians.
