My favourite coffee shop in Bogotá, voted No. 1 in South America's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025 — and ninth in the world. It's a coffee shop for the mainstream rather than for real coffee nerds, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they have an incredible coffee program: you can consistently get some of the best coffee in Colombia here, and enjoy delicious food, in one of their two beautiful locations — where you can work, meet, or read a book.
Calle de los AnticuariosDesign & artisan shopping street230 mNot a plan for young people looking to have fun. What it is: some of the best eclectic artisan goods made in Colombia — clothes, furniture, art and handmade pieces. They're expensive, but they're beautiful. A place of high-end taste, and a lovely street to walk down.
Las MoyasMountain hike660 mIf you don't want to sign up ahead for a hike, you can pay an entry fee to do Las Moyas: open to anybody, no reservation, you just need to buy entry. It's stunning, but challenging.
El CoqBar & club760 mOne of my two go-to spots in the Zona T for a night out. El Coq has always been good on a Thursday night. It draws people from all over the city, because you're in the Zona T — but it's still a cool spot, not super mainstream.
AntennaBar & club with a roof deck770 mA recent discovery of mine, and my other go-to in the Zona T. A slightly younger crowd, in their twenties, but the music — at least in my experience — leans towards the 80s, which is a good vibe. Great roof deck and very cool decor.
