Medellín

The capital of Colombia is culturally unbeatable. You may have to get used to the changeable climate in the Andean plateau first, but then nothing will stand in the way of your discovery tour. Especially on cool and rainy days, a visit to the Gold Museum is literally worth its weight in gold. Find out what the legendary “El Dorado” is really all about! Hobby hunters should also not miss a visit to the emerald market. The hot drink Canelazo, which you can buy on every street corner, will also warm you up from the inside. If the weather is a little friendlier, the Bogota graffiti tour will give you an insight into the country’s art, culture and politics without being boring for a second. The tour also takes you through the pretty old town of La Candelaria. If you want to see the 7.9 million-strong metropolis from above, a trip up Monserrate Mountain is a must – either on foot, by funicular or cable car, both made in Switzerland.
