5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

An amazing city that went beyond expectations. Definitely plan to come back.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

5/5 - Excellent

Medellin is a beautiful city with a great public transport system. It's wonderful to see trains that have not been vandalised and young people who actually respect the elderly and give up their seats or help them onto the train!
