Everything you need to know about La Candelaria
Hotel del Prado is a top choice located in the heart of La Candelaria, blending colonial-era architecture with modern comforts. Guests enjoy views of vibrant cobblestone streets and historic churches from their rooms. Just a 5-minute walk from the Bogotá Cathedral and Museo de Arte Moderno, the hotel features a charming courtyard café serving authentic Andean coffee and handmade pastries—perfect for immersing in local culture.
The most convenient option is a private transfer service or ride-hailing apps like RappiCar and Didi, taking about 30–40 minutes and costing $12–$18 USD. Public transit involves taking the TransMilenio bus to "Carrera Séptima" station, then switching to a small minibus (Golfito), but this route is complex and time-consuming. Private transfers are recommended for comfort, luggage, and nighttime arrivals.
La Candelaria pulses with cultural life: enjoy daily street performances around the Plaza de Bolívar, especially in the afternoon. Join a traditional Andean music workshop to learn the steps of the carrilera dance. Every Saturday, visit the Mercado Artesanal for local crafts—handmade pottery, textiles, and vintage items. Stroll through the colonial architecture at dusk, where golden light dances across ancient facades, offering an immersive journey into Bogotá’s soul.
Must-try El Cielo, a Michelin-recommended restaurant renowned for its innovative Andean cuisine—its signature dish, "black chocolate with caramelized apple," showcases the depth of South American flavors.
