Parque Arví
For those who love nature, Parque Arví offers a peaceful escape from the city with its hiking trails, bird watching, and picnic spots.
Tour Comuna 13
Once one of the most dangerous areas in Medellin, Comuna 13 has transformed into a vibrant community known for its street art, music, and cultural tours. We highly recommend you take a walking tour of this area, as the local guides will be able to show you some of the most iconic spots and explain how this neighborhood has transformed itself over the years, honoring its traumatic past and turning it into something beautiful and hopeful. We recommend searching Airbnb Experiences for "Comuna 13" and booking through the platform with one of the local tour guides.
Ride the Metrocable
This cable car system offers breathtaking views of the city and is a unique way to explore Medellin’s diverse neighborhoods.
Pueblito Paisa
Pueblito Paisa is a replica of a typical turn of the century Antioquia town (the Colombian department where Medellin is located). It comes complete with its own traditional stone fountain in the middle of the town square, and is surrounded by a church and rectory, the mayor’s office, a barber shop, and a one-room school house.
Try Bandeja Paisa
No trip to Colombia is complete without savoring a delicious Bandeja Paisa. This traditional meal is a hearty dish containing beans, rice, ground meat, fried pork belly (chicharron), chorizo, fried egg, friend plantains, avocado and arepa.
Eat and Drink in Provenza
This is undoubtedly the most touristy part of the city. The Provenza neighborhood in El Poblado is known for its nightlife with a variety of restaurants, bars and clubs. If you visit during the day you can also find a variety of trendy brunch spots and coffee shops.
