One such area is the little known region of Parkway.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-164\" style=\"width: 240px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/23090741_aa59d04419_m.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-164\" title=\"23090741_aa59d04419_m\" src=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/23090741_aa59d04419_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"158\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bogota<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Parkway begins around Calle 45 with Carrera 24, and stretches southwards to Calle 30. The area is dominated by a long, thin strip of park which is a great place for a midday stroll in the sun. Beyond the buildings that skirt the park there&#8217;s spectacular views of Bogota&#8217;s mountains, home of <a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/tour\/discover-bogota-and-el-dorados-secret\/\">Monserrate<\/a>, where clouds wrap themselves dramatically around the verdant peaks.<\/p>\n<p>For the creatives amongst you, the real attraction of the area is on the strips adjacent to the park, where you&#8217;ll find smokey cafes almost permanently inhabited by an arty, bohemian crowd. You&#8217;ll catch conversations about <a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/tours\/cultural\/\">Colombian culture<\/a>; the magical-realism of Marquez, the experimentalism of Botero and the merits of post-acid jazz fusion. The cafes here display artworks (one cafe even has a gallery adjoined to it), play jazz and blues and generally offer top-notch food at reasonable prices. There&#8217;s also a handful of bookshops selling a selection of newly-released, popular fiction as well as more avant-garde and experimental works.<\/p>\n<p>Parkway might not make it onto any popular list of must-visit areas in Bogota, but for a peaceful stroll in a distinctly artsy area, it&#8217;s a great place to explore and get to grips with Bogota&#8217;s alternative side.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bogota is a city replete with international cuisine and attractive cafes to while away your time in.
