There are a few options to consider when planning your journey from Medellin Airport to the city centre of Medellin. The most common way to travel, particularly if you have a lot of luggage, is to take a taxi. It will take about 25min and is not very expensive in comparison to some of the alternatives. The bus is a cheaper way to travel, but also slower, taking about 1 hour. The buses are operated by Combuses. There are shuttle companies, such as Jayride, that offer transport to the city centre, but it is much more expensive and takes the same amount of time as a taxi.

British nationals can enter Colombia without a visa for up to 90 days, but it is often asked that you show evidence of return or onward travel. We recommend that you contact the embassy if you plan on staying for longer, as they can help you plan what type of visa you will need. You’ll require your passport to enter the country, and any time you enter or leave the country by car, your passport will also need to be stamped; remember this if you plan on visiting some of the neighbouring countries.

Medellin is full of interesting things to do and it has something for everyone. If you are interested in art and history, we suggest you visit the Museo de Antioquia, as you will be able to see the works of the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero. If you are interested in seeing the city and going for walks and hikes, then we recommend you take the metrocable, using your metro tickets, up to Parque Avi. Here, you can find food vendors and wildlife trails, where you can immerse yourself in nature. Finally, if you plan on travelling with children, then you could consider the Parque Explora, an interactive science museum that also houses one of South America’s largest freshwater aquariums.
