Fine, it's touristy and completely fake but really, I rather enjoyed the visit and especially the view that is phenomenal!

This shopping district in the center is a bustling district of indoor corridors and streets packed to the brim with bargains and goods of all sorts ranging from clothing to electronics.

Take in the energy as you stroll around. It´s a colorful, unpredictable and lively experience.

If you're heading downtown, perhaps to the Botero Museum or to have a bite at Versailles, it's worth heading over to Calle Junin, a shopping street that gives a taste of some of the old charm of the city.

As always, show some precaution, especially when walking downtown. I suggest taking money out at an ATM in a shopping mall before going downtown instead of on the Junin street itself.

Have fun!

Due to the importance of flowers to the Antioquia region, I'm giving special attention to the Jardín Botánico de Medellín.

The Botanical Gardens in Medellin completed it's revamp last year (2008) with the addition of the In Situ restaurant making this a great outing.
