Visit Parque Lleras at 11 am and at 11 pm and you would think they were different places. Here is how the park changes through the day — and what to do at each hour.
A calm neighbourhood park
In daylight the park is a tree-shaded plaza where people sit with a coffee from the Juan Valdez on the square. The surrounding blocks are for brunch, cafés and shopping on Vía Primavera. The rebuilt park also has an open-air stage used for cultural events.
The zona rosa wakes up
From around 8 pm the terraces fill, and later the music moves into the clubs — many now a few blocks up in Provenza or down on Calle 10. Drinking alcohol in the plaza itself is not allowed, and the clubs are strictly 18+.
Night brings more crowds and more opportunists: keep your phone hidden and use app-booked rides. See the nightlife guide and safety guide.
