​

The city is situated in a beautiful valley, offering mountain views from every angle. Combine the natural setting with Spring-like temperatures year round, Medellin offers a very comfortable climate both day and night. It is known as the "City of Eternal Spring". The climate is just one of the many reasons why people are visiting and moving to Medellin.

Medellin is home to Colombia’s most famous artist, Fernando Botero. In the city center, you can walk through Botero Plaza and get your picture taken amongst a few dozen of his large metal sculptures.

The plaza also features the Museo de Antioquia which features some of Botero’s paintings, as well as other Latin artists.

Every December, Medellin and the surrounding cities like Envigado and Sabaneta, put up millions of Christmas lights and decorations. The entire valley is transformed, fireworks are lit off every night, and chivas (party buses) take both the locals and tourists around to see the displays. It all makes for a very festive atmosphere.



Medellin organizes a few festivals including the Festival of the Flowers. This festival is the most important social event for the city and there is a pageant, automobiles, a Paso Fino horse parade and many musical concerts.
