About
Rýchle fakty: Cobblestone streets hum on Sunday mornings with the clatter of artisan stalls and the scent of arepas, drawing locals who hunt for vintage jewelry and handcrafted leather. You can haggle for one-of-a-kind souvenirs among over a hundred vendors while taking in rooftop views and live guitar music.
Zaujímavosti: Every Sunday the cobbled colonial plaza fills with roughly 150 to 200 stalls where artisans and collectors lay out antique postcards, handwoven mochilas, and brass jewelry beneath strings of warm bulbs, while the air fills with grilled arepas and strong tinto. Go early, around 9 a.m., when a quirky habit has vendors revealing tiny handwritten price tags and haggling in friendly Spanish, so you can score a vintage vinyl or carved wooden toy for under 50,000 COP while a nearby guitarist plays vallenato.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven cobblestones and bring a light jacket, mornings can be chilly.
- Head to the plaza by the church for the best photo opportunities and lively street performances.
- Use public transport or a taxi to avoid limited weekend parking; plan for a short walk from the drop-off.
- Buy snacks from food stalls, but pay full price for prepared food and be cautious with fragile handmade items when carrying them through crowds.
