Getsemaní's nightly open-air dining room — arepas de huevo, patacones, fresh fruit vendors, $2 cocktails from street bars, and the most convivial evening atmosphere in the city. Free to browse; perfect from 7pm.
Why It Belongs on the List
Plaza de la Trinidad is the social heart of Getsemaní and one of the great free urban experiences in Latin America — every evening from around 7pm, the square fills with locals and visitors eating, drinking, and dancing. Street vendors sell arepas de huevo (fried corn cakes stuffed with egg), patacones with guacamole, fresh fruit with lime and salt, and empanadas. The surrounding houses have turned their front rooms into makeshift bars selling $2 rum cocktails and cold Club Colombia beers. Calle Media Luna nearby has a concentration of Getsemaní's best bars and music venues. The entire experience costs almost nothing.
