Quaint colonial historic center. A little bit crowded but still relaxed on a weekday visit, although I think I would avoid weekends. Interesting variety of shops, sites and restaurants.

Honest review here… Don’t waste your time or money. We read the reviews and thought this would be a nice side trip from Medellin…NO. We hired a driver and took the long 2 hour drive. Our driver was excellent and We’ve used him before so he gave us the history of the city. We walked across the famous bridge Puente de Occidente which was built in the 19th century by the same person who built the Brooklyn Bridge. That was nice, and the town was Ok. Had lunch and that was just OK. Then there was the 2 hour drive back to Medellin. Cost… $180 for the driver, $100 lunch for 5 including the driver. 6 hours of wasted vacation time. Stay in Medellin, much more to do and see and if you feel you’ve seen it all, just go back to your favorite place or…Take the money, fly to NY and walk the Brooklyn Bridge… better photo ops and better food
