Visit La Candelaria Church, the oldest church in downtown Medellín, and continue to the historic Palacio Nacional, a beautifully preserved landmark that reflects the city’s commercial heritage.
As you walk through traditional shopping passages and local streets, experience everyday life in Medellín away from the typical tourist crowds. Stop for a tasting of authentic Colombian street food, including a traditional empanada, buñuelo, and fresh Colombian coffee or a local fruit juice.
Next, explore the world-famous Plaza Botero, home to 23 monumental sculptures by renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Admire the striking Gothic architecture of the Palace of Culture Rafael Uribe Uribe, one of Medellín’s most photographed buildings.
