A beautiful place. You feel like you've been transported back in time.
Young and old meet here. We were lucky enough to see a live band there and suddenly everyone was dancing salsa together. A wonderful experience!

It can be something very calm both day and night or a real circus, day and night.
It is very pretty, exaggeratedly spacious.
On a normal weekend, there are not many people and one finds very nice hotels and good restaurants, such as cafes, cigarette shops, crafts, etc.
It is to walk and enjoy.
On holiday weekends and kite festivals it is VERY crowded.
Huge lines at restaurants and dessert and coffee places.
The square full of people raising kites.
Cars park everywhere and traffic of vehicles and people is complicated.
It is a mandatory stop, nothing more to say.

It is a place to visit from time to time and they offer drinks around. Also, there is a museum nearby if you want to do something different. You must be careful, since the floor is made of stone and if you are not used to it, your footsteps will not be as precise.
During the week it stays alone and is good for walking, but many places remain closed. From time to time they also do activities and it is a very open space.
They may include information points for foreigners, since other languages are not widely spoken in the area and the town has good things to offer.

I was in 2016. I stayed with my family in Bogota but we decided, visit this wonderful place. I was only there once but, is a place that i would like to visit again. This is a beautiful and quiet town located, about three hours from Bogota.
In Villa de Leyva you will find hotels, good gastronomy, craft shops and the largest square in Colombia. This place doesn´t have many activities to do it´s a beautiful and quiet place where you can enjoy a day with your family, coupleor friends and learn more about the local culture

Still not sure that this plaza is bigger than the one in Tunja, but they say it is....definitely older, and the cobbled areas a bit treacherous for walking across. Lots of activity here depending on the time of day...and some of the. Festivals take place here as well!

Very attractive, cobbled square and much bigger than I anticipated. Gorgeous historic buildings, in white with green trim. Plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops both in the square and the side streets, as well as a few museums. Lots of attractions within the surrounding area too. Lovely place to spend a few days.

I consider you can tell from the architecture the story is behind around are many places to eat, have a beer, to hut crafts or just to chill out. The green here you can find it around because the place is surrounded by mountains. Is amazing to know this was an ocean a long time ago!

Yesterday there was a religious ceremony going on at the town square, and so it was beautifully decorated, full off devoted locals and foreigners alike, there was music and even fireworks. Everything pretty much revolves around this plaza. You dont want to miss it.

It was a holiday. It was too crowded. There were some public works with machinery around. Also, there was a movie production. So, I could enjoy the view at its best. However, I could see this landmark reflecting the colonization architecture.

The Plaza Mayor is in the center of the peaceful town. Here you can experience the magic of the nature, views, stores with hand made artifacts and delicious food.
