About Medellín

Medellín was settled in the early 17th century in the Aburrá Valley and grew into the commercial and industrial centre of Antioquia. In recent decades the city has reinvented itself with a pioneering metro and cable-car network that links hillside neighbourhoods, plus new parks and libraries. Its mild climate and creative energy have earned it the nickname City of Eternal Spring.

TravelDaddy verdictColombia's most inventive city, and the weather helps.

A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
