Why go

This quieter northern route suits visitors interested in domestic architecture and smaller historic settings. Start at Museo del Chicó for the house, decorative arts and surrounding gardens, then walk north toward the Santa Ana neighbourhood to see the façade of Parroquia Santa Bibiana. Continue to Casa de la antigua Hacienda Santa Bárbara, where the preserved house sits within a commercial complex. The longer middle connection makes this a walking day with substantial street sections, so allow time for a meal and pauses. Where the historic spaces are accessible, compare their courtyards and domestic scale; the church remains an exterior stop.
