Top Architecture in Medellin

Wear comfortable shoes. The place is big, and you’ll probably end up walking a lot. Trust me, I regretted my choice of shoes halfway through.

Check out the local food stalls for an affordable and delicious meal. Eating there saved me a lot compared to the sit-down restaurants.
