Medellín is a city that offers stunning mountain views of the Andes, from practically any direction. There are plenty of culture-packed destinations to visit around town, which is why this Colombian city is having a renaissance of sorts. It’s the Laureles neighborhood, however, that piqued our interest.
Laureles, Medellín
The Laureles barrio – neighborhood – has cemented itself as one of the best places to experience Medellín, as it offers lush, tree-lined streets in a sector crisscrossed by a few shady boulevards. Scattered along the streets, you’ll discover a welcoming selection of cafés, restaurants, galleries, and shops. Take note: this laid-back ‘hood is mainly locals, so we recommend perfecting your Spanish to get by here.

Laureles is located west of downtown Medellin, a more quiet and residential neighborhood, featuring nice walkable streets and an atmosphere that is a blend of the more typical of Colombia with a bit of the upscale. Cheaper prices, a better quality of life, and access to everything I need or want (by foot) are the main things that draw me to Laureles.
I love Laureles because it is such a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in a city/country that isn’t very pedestrian-friendly. Almost anything you need is located within walking distance, though the unique, meandering layout of the neighborhood can be a little disorienting at first.
Metro
The one principal drawback of living in Laureles is that there is not a metro station in the barrio, though Poblado’s station is a pretty decent walk from Parque Lleras as well (and it’s uphill on the way back).
Buses
Buses in Medellin are cheap and frequent, and they are one of the best ways to get around. Beyond the integrado bus on Nutibara which will get you on the metro system, you have a number of options for getting around town.
Buses are now around 2.500 pesos.
Taxis
Getting around by taxi is another option. They are quite affordable and use the meter system with the prices displayed for what you will actually pay. No tricky codes to decipher or any of that nonsense.
I highly recommend to use UBER, better and safer.
