Medellin...The City of Eternal Spring

What neighborhood in Medellin should I stay in?

Medellin has some incredible neighborhoods, with each being unique and offering a different experience. The neighborhoods we would recommend staying in are El Poblado, Manila, Tesoro, Laureles, & Envigado. 

Neighborhoods

1. El Poblado/ Provenza:

"The 'It' Place To Be". El Poblado is an affluent area known for its gastronomy and nightlife. It's the area where most tourists stay and the most expensive neighborhood for accommodations. The streets are always bustling here, so if you're looking for a quiet place to stay, this is not it. If you're in Medellín for less than a week and want to be in the middle of it all, we recommend staying close to El Poblado.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hiya!! We are Denise and Marco, a full-time travel/ life abroad married couple with a deep passion for immersing ourselves in new cultures and embracing unique experiences around the world. 🙌 We have been living a life abroad for over 8 years! 🎇As we continue to explore and learn from our travels, we have decided to share our experiences and offer personalized travel itineraries and guidance. We believe that every traveler is unique, with individual preferences and interests. We aim to curate tailor-made experiences that focus on local activities and bypass mass tourism. ✨More about us✨ Our love for travel began when we first met, and since then, it has become an integral part of our lives. In 2016, we made a life-changing decision to leave the comfort of the United States and settle in the vibrant city of London. It was here that we truly began to experience travel in its purest form. London became our launchpad, igniting our passion for discovering the world and teaching us the importance of immersing ourselves in local experiences. In 2021, we decided to take our travel adventures to the next level. We left behind our settled life in the UK and embraced a nomadic lifestyle, traveling and living abroad permanently. This decision allowed us to break free from societal norms, redefine our boundaries, and truly become citizens of the world. Our experiences taught us that by embracing diversity, we enrich our own lives and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world around us. We recently adopted our fur baby while living in Colombia, and he has joined us on our nomadic adventures! We're excited to guide you on your next adventure 🙌
