Transportation
Jose Maria Cordova International Airport
This will be the closest International airport 45 minutes away from Medellin.
Private & Hotel Transfers: Many hotels offer transfers, or we can connect you with trusted private drivers.
Ride-Sharing & Taxis: Apps like Uber or InDriver are safe and commonly used. Taxis are also readily available.
✨ Group Transportation (Arranged for You):
If you share your arrival details and hotel/airbnb location with us, our wedding planner will happily arrange transportation on your behalf. Whenever possible, we’ll coordinate shared rides with other guests arriving around the same time. Guests will simply cover the cost directly with the driver at the end of the service.
Getting Around Medellín
Medellín has one of the best public transportation systems in Latin America, and the Metro is especially safe, clean, and reliable. It’s a great way to move around the city and enjoy beautiful views along the way.
Metro & Cable Cars: The Metro connects much of the city, and the cable cars (part of the system) offer stunning views of the valley.
Ride-Sharing & Taxis: Uber and InDriver are widely used, and taxis are easy to find.
Walking: Neighborhoods like El Poblado and Laureles are very walkable, with plenty of cafés, shops, and restaurants nearby.
Hotels
We know everyone travels differently, so here are some options:
Local Gems (Boutique Stays & Discounts):
We’ve partnered with two hotels that offered us discount codes. They’re smaller, stylish properties close to the venues. They may not be international chains, but they provide a cozy and authentic Medellín experience.
Classic Picks (Well-Known Hotels):
Great for guests who enjoy name recognition, larger properties, and full-service amenities. Examples: The Marriott, InterContinental Medellín
Other Options:
Airbnb is also a popular choice, especially in neighborhoods like El Poblado or Laureles, both safe and well-located.
