Plaza mayor and main streets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza Mayor is the most famous corner of Villa de Leyva, and is a must-see. It is 120 metres long and 120 metres wide, making it the largest square in America. The square is also home to numerous colonial buildings, including the parish church and a small Mudejar fountain that for many years supplied water to the entire town. The image of the square is complemented by the mountain range in the background, which makes the landscape even more enchanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seeing the square we recommend visiting Carrera 9 and 10, two of the most pleasant and lively streets in the town. In these two streets you will find numerous souvenir and craft shops, restaurants and bars. The best thing to do is to lose yourself in the narrow streets leading off them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

Kite Festival, the best thing to do in Villa de Leyva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most anticipated events of the year takes place during the month of August, attracting countless tourists: the Kite Festival. During the celebration, professionals and amateurs gather in the Plaza Mayor to fly kites of all sizes and shapes. It is a real spectacle of colour. There are also organised competitions. If you decide to travel in summer you should be aware that the city is full of tourists, so we recommend booking well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-The-Terracotta-Ceramic-House\"><\/span>3. The Terracotta Ceramic House<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Terracotta House is one of the most interesting stops in Villa de Leyva. It was designed by the architect Octavio Mendoza and covers over 500 square metres. Built using 400 tons of clay, it was fired as if it were a vase. That is why it is considered the largest ceramic piece in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The house, which took more than 17 years to build, is 2km from the city centre, so you can walk or take a taxi. Admission is 23,000 pesos a day and 30,000 pesos on public holidays.

This means that the town can easily be seen in a day, during which time you will have time to walk the main streets and squares, see the museums and the parish church. However, there is much more to do in the surrounding area, where there are both theme parks, such as the ostrich park, the Casa Terracota and natural sites such as the Pozos Azules, the Valle Escondido and the Iguaque National Park. Therefore, to get the most out of your visit, we recommend spending at least 3 or 4 days in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Find out what else to see in Colombia: <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-colombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Things to do on a trip to Colombia?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Villa-de-Leyva\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Villa de Leyva?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Villa de Leyva has a great places to eat; you will find both traditional and international restaurants.

The best area is the historic centre, as it is within walking distance of the main tourist attractions. Another good neighbourhood very close to the centre is San Francisco. If you prefer something cheaper, there are several campsites and inns in the outskirts of the town, where taxis are a good option for getting around. Here are some of our favourite places to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Casa del Carmen<\/strong>: this is a cosy guesthouse with a pretty interior courtyard located just 400m from the village square. It has both family rooms and double rooms and prices start at 50\u20ac per night. Breakfast is also included in the price.<\/li><li><strong>Selina Villa De Leyva<\/strong>: a wonderful hotel with an outdoor swimming pool and garden. They offer double and family rooms and accept pets. The establishment also has a bar, restaurant and offers breakfast for 4\u20ac. Prices for a night start at 33\u20ac.<\/li><li><strong>La Alhambra Hotel Boutique<\/strong>: this luxurious 5-star hotel is a wonderful option to disconnect.

Being in the capital, is one of the best connected airports in the country. Once at the airport you have to take a bus which takes 3 hours and costs 23,000 pesos. The other nearest airport is Bucaramanga, which is 280km away, but could be a good option if you want to see the area and the pretty town of Barichara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to travel from Santander by bus. You have to change in Tunja, and from there Villa de Leyva is only 1 hour away and the ticket costs 10,000 pesos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/es\/auth\/signup?download=true&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-villa-de-leyva&amp;utm_term=1\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plan your trip to VILLA DE LEYVA<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-should-I-consider-before-travelling-to-Villa-de-Leyva\"><\/span>What should I consider before travelling to Villa de Leyva?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The temperature in Villa de Leyva is between 18\u00baC and 30\u00baC, which means that temperatures are mild all year round but it&#8217;s a good idea to take some warm clothes.<\/li><li>The National Wind and Kite Festival is held every year in August.<\/li><li>The city is safe, but be careful and watch out for your belongings.<\/li><li>The official currency in Colombia is the Colombian peso.<\/li><li>The official language is Spanish.<\/li><li>The best time of year to visit is from early June to early September and from late December to mid-January.<\/li><li>Cash is recommended for small shops.<\/li><li>Tap water is safe to drink, but your stomach may not be used to its mineral levels.
