Getting to Medellin: the airports
José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) is in Rionegro, about 35 km by road from Medellín; El Poblado and the centre are 45 to 60 minutes away through the Túnel de Oriente, Llanogrande 15 minutes and Guatapé about an hour and a quarter.
Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) is a small domestic airport inside Medellín, about 5 km from El Poblado and 6 km from Laureles, used mainly by regional flights within Antioquia and Colombia.
Medellín is the capital of Antioquia in the Aburrá Valley; Guatapé is about 80 km east, Santa Fe de Antioquia about 80 km north-west and the coffee town of Jardín about 135 km south-west.
The Metro, tram and Metrocable are cheap and clean but do not reach the airport, which is 45 to 60 minutes away by road; buses and shared vans run from the terminal, while a private car is the simple choice with luggage, at night or for El Poblado and Laureles hotels.
Where to stay in Medellin
The areas travellers ask us about most: Belén and Guayabal, Rionegro and Llanogrande near the airport, El Poblado, the main hotel district, Provenza and Parque Lleras, Laureles and the Estadio area and El Centro and Plaza Botero.
The choice of area changes the drive from the airport and the order of a day tour, not the price of either; send the hotel name on WhatsApp and the desk plans around it.
What to see in Medellin
The places most visitors come for: Santa Elena's flower villages, Comuna 13 and its street-art tours, Metrocable rides to Parque Arví, Plaza Botero and Museo de Antioquia, Pueblito Paisa on Cerro Nutibara, Guatapé and the Piedra del Peñol and Museo de Memoria.
Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Guatape and El Penol Rock Day Trip with Boat and Lunch Medellin, Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour with Cable Car Medellin and Coffee Farm Tour with Transport Tastings and Lunch Medellin say exactly what each includes.
What to eat in Medellin
Worth trying: trout from Guatapé, bandeja paisa, arepas with cheese, sancocho and empanadas. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.
When to go
The climate is mild all year; December to March and July to August are the driest months, April to May and October to November the rainiest, and city traffic peaks at weekday rush hours and on long-weekend holiday exits.
Good to know before you arrive
Tell us your flight number and hotel address; the road from the airport passes through the Túnel de Oriente and can be slow in rain or at rush hour, so plan a buffer if you have a connection.
Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.
