WELCOME TO MEDELLÍN
A vibrant enthralling city

I invite you to amble the streets of this city in transformation. Awe yourself any time you step out: a Christmas decorated River Walkway, a ride on the metrocable as it works its way to Arví Park taking you past incredibly steep mountain sides. Witness the brilliance of flowering yellow Guayacanes in January. Share the elation of couples having their photograph taken alongside one of world renowned Artist Fernando Botero’s sculptures at Museo de Antioquia. In August be a part of the merriment and gayety Medellín’s inhabitants delight in during the Flower Fair. And feel the fascination of children learning at the digital room of their neighborhood’s Park and Library.

But what will most surprise you is the smiles and the friendly and sincere way Paisas welcome you and make you feel at home. This, I know, will be the best memory of your visit. Because we want you to come back.

Alonso Salazar Jaramillo

Mayor of Medellín
