Marbel Palacio
Step out of Marbel Palacio's boutique like a super-stylish superstar.
Antique Dades
Art collectors and homeowners alike will love the creative offerings at Antique Dades.

Tornasol Spa
Tornasol Spa is a homey spa that's a welcome respite from the chaotic city outside.
Plaza de Toros Santamaría
Love it or hate it, bullfighting is a big part of Bogota's heritage - and there's no better place to catch the bloodsport than here.

A gigantic green scene in the heart of Colombia, Jardin Botanicá de Bogota offers respite from the chaos of the city.

Café Renault
Café Renault's sleek white dining room is the perfect place for a work lunch.
Café Amarti
A casual eatery in the heart of Usaquen - their pizzas are somewhat renowned.

Café Para Dos
Café Para Dos is an atmospheric cove where many couples come to sip coffee or smoke houka on romantic dates. Those flying solo need not apply.

God is in the details, as they say, and that's certainly the case at Café la Boheme, where simple food and a carefree environment have made it something of a success story.
