What to see in Medellín, the city of the eternal spring


From the moment you land at Medellin airport, an exciting adventure begins. The shuttle to the city downtown becomes an excursion with incredible views. Medellin is located in a valley and the road that follows from the airport shows landscapes that will never leave your memory.


If you ask locals about what to do in Medellín, many of them will surely highlight the great nightlife of this city. While you cannot miss the experience of the chiva rumbera and the party in the town of El Poblado, mentioned in so many reggaeton songs and where we recommend you look for your accommodation, here we will tell you what other tourist sites you have to add to your must-see list of this destination.


The first thing we recommend is to take a free walking tour through downtown Medellín, to understand the present and past history of this city. Among the must-sees in this area are the Botero Square, with sculptures by the famous Colombian artist, and the Casa de la Memoria Museum, where you will learn about Colombia's darkest past.


Continuing with the recent history of Medellín, plan another of your days in the city taking a tour around Comuna 13, a neighborhood that was severely shaken by violence and has now been converted into a tourist site where the neighbors themselves are the guides who will take you through its streets full of graffiti, music and dancing.


If you have several days to spend in this city and are looking for excursions outside of it, Medellín also has several options. First, you have to visit Guatapé & Peñol Rock. From the top of the famous Peñol Rock, 220 meters above sea level, you will have incredible views; just be prepared to climb 702 steps on foot. The town of Guatapé is known for its colorful streets, which will brighten up your journey. Also, if you like coffee, it is essential that you reserve a day to take the coffee tour in the surroundings of Medellín.


But that's not all, this Colombian city has countless tourist attractions to discover, such as the Nutibara, Cielo or Cristo hill viewpoints, where you'll have an impressive panoramic view of the city. Choose the plans in Medellín that you like the most and enjoy your visit to the fullest.
