There are tons of hotels, hostels, or Airbnb options to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near Poblado, you will find Envigado, (it&#8217;s not Medellin but is part of the city&#8217;s metropolitan area) an exclusive zone where you can mix the turbulence of the city and the peace of nature <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you want to stay more than a month in Medellin, we recommend the area of Laureles Stadium and Laureles. Full of green, it is a much quieter neighborhood than the Poblado, there are not so many discos, but in exchange, you will find nearby sports facilities, museums, bars, and many places to play sports. Everything is close, the center, the town, and the north, so you can move very easily throughout the city without walking a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Is Medellin Dangerous?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No\u2026and Yes. It depends a lot on the zone you are in. Most people who come to Medellin never had trouble with insecurity, but some people do. Most cases that we know are related to drunk people that lost their way to go home (day and night) and got mugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To stay safe, keep your valuables (including your phone) and ask people from your hotel for warnings about certain areas, and be extra careful at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Wheater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cthe city of eternal spring\u201d You can be in the park on a sunny day and suddenly see the rain coming. There are dry days, rainy days, or both. However the weather is spectacular, you don&#8217;t need a jacket or coat during the day, but at night you might want a warm blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ditch the Escobar chat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;People from Colombia (Medellin and Cali particularly) are tired of the Escobar talk, more, if people come with the Netflix ideal (a cool criminal respected for his exploits) In Colombia Pablo Escobar, was a terrorist and is despised by the vast majority of its population. Medellin and Colombia in general are much more than drugs, so try to avoid that topic ( it&#8217;s not taboo), but for sure you will find better things to talk about (you can also leave the Escobar t-shirt for another occasion).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>No hotel tax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign tourists are free to pay the 19% hotel TAX, so take it to count, and don&#8217;t let hotel people rip you off&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Pollution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0It is big problem in the city. Despite there being no longer factories that cause pollution and the thousands of trees in the city the administration is still fighting this problem. Take in count if you are sensitive to it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Don&#8217;t drink the water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common to hear among travelers arriving in Colombia and Latin America that they should NOT drink water, it is a myth, at least for Colombia. Both in Medellin and the cities of the country, the quality of the water is excellent and it is drinkable everywhere. *Curious fact Colombia is the country with the most water sources in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Way around<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The subway is the best option to go from south to north, it is fast and cheap. But If you are staying in the city center, you can use the city bicycles, and go around from the center to Laureles with no problem. For both the metro and the bicycles you must get a civic card. You can use the bicycles for free and recharge money for the subway. This card is available at the metro stations: San Antonio (downtown) Niquia (south) and tIagui (south of Medellin, as well as Envigado, Itagui is now part of the metropolitan area of the city).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, cabs, and applications such as DIDI or UBER, operate throughout the city of Medellin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medell\u00edn is the second most important city in Colombia, and the capital of the department of Antioquia; its average temperature is 24\u00ba and it is located 1,479 meters above sea level making it perfect for visits any time of year.
