Everyday awarenessFree local-life walkable cafes salsa metro

Laureles is a flat, residential neighborhood of tree-shaded circular streets that Time Out named the coolest neighborhood in the world, praising its laid-back, traditional feel and its nightlife strip, La 70. It is home to the Atanasio Girardot stadium, independent cafés like Rituales and Pergamino's Laureles house, and classic salsa bars.

Why we love it

  • Café hop around Circular 73–74 and Avenida Jardín
  • Salsa nights at El Tibiri and Son Havana
  • Easy Metro access via Estadio station

Enjoy it safely

Normal city awareness; La 70 gets crowded late on weekends, so keep valuables minimal and ride home by app.
