Medellín is recognized as one of Colombia's safest cities. While it's generally considered safe, as with any urban area, it's advisable to exercise caution and follow basic safety practices.
WHAT ARE THE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS IN MEDELLÍN?
We recommend using Uber for transportation. Alternatively, you can ask your hotel, a restaurant, or a security guard to call a taxi for you. Exercise caution when hailing a cab in a less populated area.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE WEATHER?
Anticipate daytime temperatures in the high 70s and evening temperatures in the mid 60s in Medellín, with showers common throughout the day and night. It's a good idea to have an umbrella or raincoat handy, especially at night.
WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED IN MEDELLÍN?
All major credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Medellín. You can withdraw cash from any ATM, with Bancolombia and Davivienda being highly recommended. It's advisable not to go alone when doing so. If you have USD notes, Carulla supermarkets offer excellent exchange rates. Avoid exchanging money at the airport for better rates.
