Medellín is a Beautiful CityBeing the city of “eternal spring” is, in its own right, reason enough. Its topography – a valley surrounded by mountains – together with its spring-like weather and the “Paisas”, its characteristically warm and friendly inhabitants are two other reasons. Being a great cultural center and hometown to many a world renowned artist like Fernando Botero, whose sculptures grace many squares around the city, are two other good reasons

Medellín is the city of the Flower Fair and Silletero Parade, and the traditional Christmas lights display. The city boasts a modern public transportation system with the Metro and its feeder lines Metrocable and Metroplus, newly refurbished roadways, two bus terminals, and two airports, one for regional flights, the other a modern international airport. The Parks and Library, gateways to knowledge, to enjoyment and to creative leisure time, are a symbol of a Medellín that’s become a Home for Life.
