Colombia’s capital and biggest city is Bogotá, but it serves as the country’s economic, political, and culture hub that it can get really boring. Unfortunately, the traveler’s consensus says that this isn’t the best city to visit in Colombia if you only got one city to prefer, but it’s, ready for this one? Medellín!
And, do you know now which is among the most convenient to take you around this amazing city? It’s DiDi.
DiDi, doing business as DiDi Chuxing, is China’s version of Uber. Interestingly enough, it operates in Colombia! Take a look at the best things to do in Medellín, Colombia, as presented by DiDi Colombia.
“Situated in a narrow valley, Medellín packs the punch of a city twice its size,” this is then how travel guide Lonely Planet describes Medellín. “Its skyline reaches for the heavens, setting high-rise apartments and office buildings against a backdrop of jagged peaks in every direction. Its pleasant climate gives it its nickname – the City of Eternal Spring – and the moderate temperatures put a spring in the locals’ steps, at work and at play. It’s a bustling place of industry and commerce, especially in textile manufacturing and the export of cut flowers. On weekends, Medellín lets its hair down, its many nightclubs attracting the beautiful people.”
Dance the tango!
And, if you’re finding yourself in Medellín, then you should get started dancing the tango. There’s no better place than at Salon Malaga.
Colombians love their tango so much that they converge in this magnificent spot where dancers groove with the dance with boleros, coffee, and wine. After some glasses, the room erupts happily in chorus, singing and dancing like there’s no tomorrow, and like the Barbie film in 2023 was comprised of Latina Barbies.
Attend a fútbol game
Ridesharing Forum knows, it knows that Colombia is no Brazil, but the Colombians also love their football, or fútbol, very much.
Medellín has two big teams: the Deportivo Independiente Medellín, which is known as “El Poderoso de la Montaña”, and wears red and blue – not the toothpaste-y red and white – and Atlético Nacional, Colombia’s most successful side, sporting a green kit.
Believe Ridesharing Forum when the team says watching a football match in here is like the Stephen Curry vibes in the Golden State. Whose turn for the shootout?
Eat a bandeja paisa
If El Salvador has the pupusa dishes, Colombia, or Medellín, rather, has the bandeja paisa, an irresistible collection of beans, pork rinds, sausage, ground beef, and assorted other sides. You’ll certainly miss the cooking of your mom when you taste this dish, because it’s so home-y!
So, the next time you find yourself in Medellín, DiDi cars are a call away. Sorry to cut this short, the team’s chasing opportunities! For more ridesharing news, sign up, and take part in the discussions!
