Cities in Colombia
Bogotá
Colombia
Bogotá sits at 2,600 metres in the Andes, a city of eight million that has reinvented itself from notoriety to one of Latin America's most dynamic capitals. The historic La Candelaria district, one of South America's finest Gold Museums, a world-class cycling culture, extraordinary street art in La Macarena, and a restaurant scene that has earned multiple Latin America's 50 Best entries make this a city that consistently surprises visitors.
Cartagena
Colombia
Cartagena is the jewel of the Colombian Caribbean — a UNESCO-listed walled city of candy-coloured mansions, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and steamy Caribbean nights. Colonial grandeur meets Caribbean music, and the beaches of the Rosario Islands are a short boat ride away.
Medellín
Colombia
Medellín is one of the world's great urban transformation stories — a former byword for violence that has become a city of innovation, urban cable cars, extraordinary orchids, and year-round spring weather. The City of Eternal Spring rewards curious travellers with excellent cuisine, world-class coffee, and a warm culture that delights in sharing both.
