Best places: Tourist attractions in Medellin, Colombia

👍👍 When I was there at the University of Antioquia for the first time I went to this museum, I was surprised that it was so lonely, the truth is that it has very valuable anthropological, social and biological historical pieces, it is a pleasant space to which I hope to return.

👍👍 Definitely worth the 30-60 minute hike up for the view! Go in the late afternoon to see the sunset. There's a path you can hike up the back, but you'll have to ask someone in Barrio Paris for directions. You can also walk up the main road. Bring a sweatshirt it's ❄

👍👍 I absolutely love this area. This area is the area for 30 plus years of age. It is much more expensive than Parque Lleras... But it's definitely worth it. This is the party area but very upscale for Medellin Colombia

👍👍 This spot is one of the best places in the city, where you can appreciate local artist's works. Phtography, painting, writing and music are part the cultural programs it has to offer.
