An amazing city that went beyond expectations. Definitely plan to come back.
3/5 - Okay

Centro is an area to steer clear, lots of drug use in this area from the homeless population which seems concentrated here. Saw people walking with syringes and also smoking pipes in middle of the street in broad daylight.

Medellin is a beautiful city with a great public transport system. It's wonderful to see trains that have not been vandalised and young people who actually respect the elderly and give up their seats or help them onto the train!
