Why do people like staying in Medellín

Medellín is the second-largest and most populated city in Colombia. Even though it is located in the mountains, it’s 1,500 meters high, which, for a tropical country, means great weather and nicely warm temperatures throughout the year. The friendliness of its people and the fact that the city could leave behind a violent past make it a great destination for anyone willing to spend some time relaxing or on a business trip.

• Excellent for a long stay.
• The department of Antioquia has different kinds of weather. It’s big, multiethnic, and welcoming.
• Famous for partying and beautiful Colombian women.

How to get to Medellín

There are 2 airports. The international one (Jose María Córdoba) is outside the city (a 40-minute drive near the town of Rionegro). The small one (Olaya Herrera) is near El Poblado.

There are 2 also bus terminals: South and North.

How long to stay in Medellín

You should stay 3 nights if you want to party on the weekend as you’ll probably K.O the following morning. Keep 1 or 2 days to visit the city and 1 day to visit Guatapé, a beautiful water reservoir located 50 miles south of Medellín (a 2-hour drive) which features a gigantic monolith called Piedra del Peñol, where you get magnificent 360-degree views.

Weather and tourist season in Medellín

The weather is great (Medellín is called the city of eternal spring), even if there are regular short downpours.

Locals don’t stay in big cities during the holiday season or a public holiday. You won’t have issues when booking a nice hotel, except during the Feria de las Flores (10 days in August) — if so, book your hotel in advance.

Bottom line: Best hotels in El Poblado

El Poblado is the most famous neighborhood in Medellín. There, food lovers and party people will find everything they need. The prices are often higher than in other city areas, but you can get good deals like the Hotel Botánica. If your travel budget is larger, don’t hesitate to stay at the Patio del Mundo or the LandMark hotel. Both are a delight.
