1. Medellín is a Beautiful City
Being the city of “eternal spring” is, in its own right, reason enough. Its topography –
a valley surrounded by mountains – together with its spring-like weather and the
“Paisas”, its characteristically warm and friendly inhabitants are two other reasons.
Being a great cultural center and hometown to many a world renowned artist like
Fernando Botero, whose sculptures grace many squares around the city, are two
other good reasons

2. Medellín is the city of the Flower Fair and Silletero Parade, and the
traditional Christmas lights display. The city boasts a modern public
transportation system with the Metro and its feeder lines Metrocable
and Metroplus, newly refurbished roadways, two bus terminals, and
two airports, one for regional flights, the other a modern international
airport. The Parks and Library, gateways to knowledge, to enjoyment
and to creative leisure time, are a symbol of a Medellín that’s become
a Home for Life.

3. WHAT TO DO THERE?
Carré Building
This building was constructed at the end of the 19th century in the downtown area of
Medellín and is considered an architectural relic of the city and the country.
National Palace
This shopping center’s name comes from the old Justice Palace Building of Medellín, which
was heavily based on Romanticism elements and was built at the beginning of the 20th
century. The unique location of the Palace, placed strategically in the heart of the downtown
