Plans in Bogotá to start the year: a city that invites you to live it calmly

When January arrives, many people look for ways to explore Bogotá at a more relaxed pace. The hustle and bustle slows, the streets breathe more slowly, and the cool weather invites leisurely strolls.

At this time, Bogotá's apartsuites offer a practical starting point. They allow you to cook something simple, get back to work with focus, or relax after exploring the area.

Bogotá at the start of the year: a serene atmosphere and plans that connect with the city


January reveals a gentler side of the capital. Those looking for things to do in Bogotá will find quiet cafes, manageable museums, and parks where time seems to move differently. A common question also arises: what to do in Bogotá at the start of the year without resorting to long commutes or overcrowded activities.


In the north of the city, where the residential environment blends with a stable cultural offering, there are options that accompany a more balanced start:


  • Bike paths and access to the hills: wide and well-connected routes for walking or cycling at quiet times, ideal for breathing fresh air and connecting with the city at a leisurely pace.
  • El Chicó Museum: one of the few remaining colonial houses in Bogotá, surrounded by tranquil gardens. A space that connects with the city's history and offers short exhibitions.
  • Guillermo Martínez House Museum: a less crowded space where design, applied arts and discreet curatorial work allow for an intimate visit, perfectly aligned with a quiet plan in Bogotá.
