About Medellin

Nestled in the narrow Aburrá Valley, where forested mountains rise in every direction, the jam-packed collection of skyscrapers that form Colombia's second-largest city feels quite out of place. Yet, Medellín's delightful climate has earned it the nickname, the City of Eternal Spring, and you'll enjoy strolling through plazas and gardens bathed in sunshine. Once notorious as the stomping ground of Pablo Escobar, Medellín has transformed into a thriving city, most evident in places like Comuna 13, where street art tells a story of resilience. Admire the sculptures of Fernando Botero in the Plaza Botero or eye-catching works in the Modern Art Museum, and for the very best views, ride the cable car to the mountaintop Arví Park.

What to do

Why you'll love it

Whether you're meandering through busy markets or dancing the night away in one of its salsa clubs, Medellín's warm and welcoming Paisa culture makes every interaction even more memorable.


Off the beaten track

Take a graffiti tour of Comuna 13 to learn all about its difficult past and reemergence, or take a break from the city sights for a wander in the beautiful Jardín Botánico.


Something to think about

While Medellín's transformation is remarkable, some neighbourhoods remain edgier than others. It's best to check with your hotel or guide if you're unsure about the safety of an area.
