And that is exactly what we want the whole world to experience, what makes this beloved city so unique. Living in Medellín is: joy, charisma, innovation, tradition, art.
The new and the old walk together!
Medellín is a city that does not stand still, but never forgets where it comes from. Here we are building a legacy that reflects how Medellín and its people are transformed, but without leaving aside what makes us unique.
At the same time, we continue to take care of our architectural heritage. Have you visited the Prado neighborhood or seen the Metropolitan Cathedral? They are jewels that remind us of what Medellín was like in the past. And if you pass by Parque Explora or the Botanical Garden, you will see how science, the winding trees, the birds greeting you with their song, and education are at the service of the community. It is the perfect mix of the new and the old, because here traditions are not forgotten, but we are always ready for what comes next. Whatever happens!
We are creativity and art, we are an open-air gallery
Medellín is pure art and culture. Creativity springs up on every corner. It invites you to walk down every street that will leave you surprised by the murals that fill the walls with color and tell the stories of our people. Art has been a tool to transform the city, and we breathe and feel that every day.
And let's not even talk about music. Medellín is the birthplace of genres that have conquered the world, such as reggaeton, but it is also the home of trova, tango, and serenades that can't be missed on any corner. Every year, festivals and musical events fill the streets of the city, such as our recommendations on this occasion, the International Tango Festival, which you can enjoy every year in June, or the popular festivals that remind us that in Medellín there is always room to celebrate with music. Rhythm and joy run through our blood and we live it every day enjoying all the nightlife venues.
Here we feel pride in who we are, in our ancestors and in the future we are building. “Very Medellín” is that: everything that makes us special, from our roots to our celebrations. We invite everyone to enjoy a city that never ceases to surprise, where innovation, art and culture are on every corner. This is what it means to be Very Medellín!
