Usaquén sits in the far north of the city, connected by the TransMilenio but feeling entirely different from central Bogota. The neighbourhood was an independent village before the city swallowed it, and the colonial square and church at its centre have survived largely intact. Cobbled streets, whitewashed facades, and a slower pace of life mark it out as one of the most pleasant corners of the capital.
On Sundays, the square and surrounding streets fill with one of the city's best flea markets — artisan crafts, antiques, food stalls, and live music. It draws both tourists and locals. The restaurants around the square are good and reasonably priced. Take the TransMilenio north on Autopista Norte and get off at Cardio Infantil, then walk east.
