Top Culture in Antioquia

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!

Don't skip the gift shop! I found some really unique souvenirs that weren't just the usual touristy stuff and at reasonable prices.

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 recommend checking if there's a 'free entry' day before you go. I stumbled upon it and saved some cash for more souvenirs. The locals really seemed to enjoy that day, too.

I suggest grabbing a coffee at the little cafe on the first floor. It's a nice spot to take a break, and the prices are pretty reasonable for the area. Don't miss their pastries!

Plan to spend some time in the outdoor sculpture park – I thought I'd just zip through, but honestly, it turned out to be one of my fave parts! Bring a snack for a small picnic.

I suggest wearing good walking shoes because the trails can get a bit rugged, and you don't want sore feet ruining your day.

If you have time, check out the nearby town, but be careful about overpriced local tours. I found that negotiating directly with drivers saved a good chunk of my budget instead of opting for packaged deals

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!
