Skyline of Medellin from the Metro Cable station
Medellín has really figured out public transportation. This is the tranvia, one of the city's newest lines. For less than a dollar it will take you smoothly and quietly into the eastern part of the city. From there you can take a cable car into the hills, or walk back past some amazing street art.
At the top of Nutibarra Hill in Medellin is Pueblito Paisa, a replica of a turn of the century town that offers a glimpse into historical Antioquian villages.

Very pretty city if not many attractions to there. Great friendly people and nightlife.

For a first time visitor it's probably useful to be with someone local. It's also important to have at least some knowledge of Spanish. The shopping malls are impressive with excellent food courts.

We loved Medellín-it was definitely worth the trip. El Poblado is a great area to stay in-it’s very lively and can be noisy at night but The Charlee hotel has great sound proofing. The city is safe for tourists and the locals are very welcoming.
