Navigate the historic heart of a city forged by an intertwined political past, along streets that have blossomed into a tourist hotspot, such as ode to the city's homegrown artist Fernando Botero, or its nearby illuminating-beam-lined neighbor, Parque de la Luces. Stroll along the palm tree-lined streets to the towering Metropolitan Cathedral, before taking a step into the past at remembrance spots San Antonio Plaza and Casa de la Memoria. Escape the city hustle to meander past interactive Zen-inspired installments in Barefoot Park, before sauntering under the tree canopies of Botanical Garden. Spot the modern red Parque Explora to visit later, and dart past local students to admire the architecture of the yellow beaming Universidad de Antioquia.
