Another day, another walk through downtown Medellin. A little bit on the hot side and lots of people are out.
El Centro is a great place if you want to experience the real Medelln. There is just so much to take in, from the sprawling office towers along Avenida Oriental to the small shops dotting the alleys of El Hueco, you will find a lot of bustling activity throughout the day.
There is also a lot of historical and cultural history found in this sector of the city. El Centro has both one of the largest churches in the world, the oldest church in Medelln, the tallest building in Medelln, sculptures from Colombia’s most famous artist, and so much
more.
Prices in El Centro generally trend lower here. If you are looking for the cheapest clothes available, El Centro (and Centro de la Moda in Itag) have the lowest prices in the Medelln metro area.
