Best market I've seen, filled with bizarre artefacts, toys and whatnot from the last 100 years. How they ended up in the hands of these humble folk is a mystery, but there they are, for sale and waiting to make the most unusual new addition to your home! Not to be missed. Viva Colombia! "A la Orden!"

On the corner of carrera 7 (septima) with calle 18. (in the carpark behind the Mambo Museum. Sundays.

Offers rustic charm, some peace and quiet and great views of the city for prices starting at around £30. Not in the centre of the action, but near enough.

Calle 54A 3-12

Literally “mum’s soups and granny’s puddings”. As its name suggests, this is a chain offering simple, homely Colombian specialties at reasonable prices. Eg Ajiaco for a couple of quid. There are many cheaper restaurants in town, but not necessarily ones you would want to go into. Don’t forget to try the various fruit juices on offer. A jugo de Lulo not only sounds fun to order, it tastes out of this world.

My local is on Carerra 13 27-98.
