Medellín
Highly recommended
Nestling in the Aburrá Valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Central, the "City of the Eternal Spring" is the pride of the Paisa region. The country's second most populous city is clean, green and prosperous. Its desire to put an end to its reputation for drug cartel-related violence and instability has resulted in an urban revival marked by the opening up of deprived districts and the advent of universal access to education, sport and culture.
