Bogota Downtown Restaurants

Welcome to our guide to the Bogota Downtown Restaurants.

In Bogota Downtown, we can define three sub-areas with particular characteristics that make them significantly different from each other.

Every sub-zone has its own flavor.

"La Candelaria" with its historic and traditional environment, The "Centro Internacional" as one of the most traditional financial centers in the city and "La Macarena", an old neighborhood with its bohemian halo.

Lately, the people in Bogota has seen a remarkable recovery and reactivation of the center of the city. If in the past the citizens thought Bogota downtown was marginal and dangerous, now they see it as the epicenter of the activities of inhabitants and visitors of Bogota.

Also a lot of universities are concentrated in this area of the city. Thanks to this, the center welcomes young people from across the city and offers opportunities for recreation, fun and entertainment.

Bogota Downtown is an area with great cultural, artistic and tourist activity. Here are located the most important buildings and historical monuments of the city as well as the most traditional churches.
