La Candelaria

Where Bogotá Tells Its Stories

Walking through La Candelaria means entering one of the places where Bogotá most strongly preserves its memory. Its cobblestone streets, colorful houses, balconies, squares, and churches coexist with museums, restaurants, cafés, bookstores, galleries, hostels, and urban art expressions showing a neighborhood in continuous evolution.

Here you can start the tour at Bolívar Square, visit some of the most important museums in the city, discover the art on its facades, and lose yourself in streets that hold stories from different eras.

But La Candelaria doesn’t live only on its past. In its streets, you will also find a young, creative, and diverse Bogotá: artists, students, entrepreneurs, cooks, and creators who have made this sector one of the most interesting places to discover the city.

A walk through La Candelaria can take you from a centuries-old church to a contemporary gallery, from a historic square to a café, or from a museum to a mural that turns a wall into a masterpiece.

Take the time to walk it, look up, and let yourself be surprised by its details. La Candelaria is history, culture, and creativity, all in a few blocks.
