I suggest visiting on a weekend morning when it’s less crowded. Around 10 AM is perfect to soak in the art without feeling rushed around the other visitors.

Bring a reusable water bottle; there are nice places to sit and enjoy the garden outside, and you'll want to stay hydrated without spending on drinks inside.

I recommend checking out their schedule online before you go, as they sometimes have special exhibits or events that can really enhance your experience.

Check if there's a discount available for students or seniors; I was able to save a couple of bucks with my student ID, which made my visit feel even better!

My advice is to save some time for the gardens outside. They're gorgeous for photos and a great spot to relax after the museum tour.

If you're on a budget, consider bringing your own snacks. The cafe has limited options and can be a bit pricey for what you get!

I suggest checking out the museum's schedule for special exhibitions before you go; I stumbled upon an amazing show that wasn't on my radar. Totally worth it!

Try to avoid weekends if you can; the lines can get long and it's super busy. If you must go then, I say show up right when it opens at 10 AM!

I suggest visiting in the early morning, around 8 AM, when the light is perfect for photos and there's less crowd. It's super peaceful then!

If you're a fan of architecture, don't forget to look up! The details on the buildings around the square are so stunning. I almost missed them!

I really recommend spending some time just people-watching. The square has a vibrant atmosphere, and you’ll get a real feel of Medellin life. Just grab a seat and soak it all in!
