Things you should do in Medellin<\/h1>\n

Frequently I publish posts on my travel blog about the most beautiful places in Colombia, like magical pueblos<\/a><\/strong>, amazing beaches<\/a><\/strong>, impressing volcanoes and majestic jungles and even though I spend the most time in Medellin it never occurred to me to write a post about the city I live in. But now Medellin, the maybe most exciting city in Colombia will get its credit.<\/p>\n

Now it is time to pay homage to the once most dangerous city in the world that recently has been voted most innovative city ahead of New York and Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Why Medellin?<\/h2>\n

What makes this city so unique, exciting and incredibly attractive? The city is neither very glamorous like Paris with the Eiffel tower, London with the Big Ben or New York with the statue of liberty nor does it have the artistic vibe like Barcelona or Berlin. No, it has has no landmark that you can compare with one of the ones I just named but still Medallo is one of the most charismatic cities in the world. Why this is, I would like to explain you now.<\/p>\n

The city of eternal spring is simple but still exciting, surprising, full of energy and soulfulness. The one thing that makes this place such an incredible city are the people whose friendliness will always make you smile. You can feel the joy of life daily like I have never felt so intensively before in any other big city.<\/p>\n

I remember exactly when I arrived on the 24. September 2012 at the Airport Jose Maria Cordova<\/strong> in Rio Negro and with open windows, while Reggaeton was pumping through taxis speakers, I drove down the curvy roads from Rio Negro to Medellin and suddenly saw the colorful lights in the valley of the capital of Antioquia. At this point I was already sure that I would never regret the decision to move here.
