Last year, I was very excited because I was going to travel to Medellin for the first time, it is one of my favorite cities. When I arrived in Medellín at night, I was very amazed by how beautiful the city is. We toured some important places in the city like the stadium, I was Fascinated with this place. We also went to La Piedra del Peñol, it is a very beautiful place but I was Frightened and worried because I'm afraid of heights. It was perhaps one of my best experiences although it only lasted two days due to the problem of the pandemic

We went to a match on which the Independiente Medellin and Deportivo Tachira (from Venezuela) played. The atmosphere was great with all the local fans. I cant even imagine how is their own "el clasico" -match going to be if on this match we had so good time.
Please notice that there is no ticket booth anywhere near stadium except a long search on the game day on which we found a small booth behind a metal fence surrounded by two policemen. It was located on the north east corner behind the stadium next to road.

.Well worth trying to catch a soccer game in Medellin. My wife and I took in three games over the last three weeks while in Medellin. My tips:
1. Buying tickets is confusing. Tickets do not go on sale to the public until three days before each game. You can buy tickets at the stadium (window 2) or at a number of retailers throughout the city (several of these are at malls).
2. We bought our tickets at the stadium. This is a pain because you are talking through a dark screen to a person you can't see, and there are people standing all around you trying to scalp tickets. Ticket prices range from really cheap to over 30.00 per ticket. Warning: Seating is very segregated. You will be sitting in the section where you buy your ticket....you can't buy cheap and move to the good seats.
3. The games are great. Soccer quality is good and the fans are really passionate. The stadium is a 5 min walk from the metro and is safe. There is a ton of security, and tons of people scalping tickets outside. We bought our tickets in advance so I cannot speak to what type of prices there are asking, or whether the tickets are real.
4. No large bags allowed into the stadium.....They sell beer, soda, and all kinds of junk food.
5. If you are there for the Classico (Independiente v Athletico) definitely buy a ticket even if you don't like sports or soccer....a truly wonderful Medellin cultural event.
6. We went to Envigado and watched a match there. Even though Envigado plays in the A league, their stadium is like going to a minor league baseball stadium....much different experience than going in Medellin.

I have had the opportunity to go to many World Cups, Copa Americas, Euros, and nothing compares to the environment during one of the local matches here. Be prepared to stand for the full 90 minutes. The passion is incredible.

What Americans refer to as “Soccer” is called “Football” throughout the rest of the world. Colombians are crazy about football as is the rest of South American. The city of Medellín has two professional teams. Atletico Nacional is the most popular and successful one whose colors are white and green. Atletico was owned by Pablo Escobar during the height of his drug campaign. They have won several national and international championships. In fact, they were the opponent of Chapecoense, the Brazilian team that perished in a plane crash in 2016 on the way to play in the Copa Sudamericana Finals (Chapecoense was eventually awarded the title). Medellín’s “other team” is known as Deportivo Independiente Medellín and their colors are red and blue. While Independiente Medellín has had some success, they are basically the LA Clippers of the city. I actually went to an Independiente Medellín match which cost me 20K COP ($6 USD) for a front row seat behind the visiting goal post. The game was exciting even though Independiente Medellín lost 2-1 to a lesser opponent. On Sunday, Atletico played Independiente Medellín in what is known as “Clásico Paisa”. I wanted to see that game (and even walked to the stadium), however, the whole city was clamoring to get inside the stadium and there were no tickets left for purchase. I ended up watching Atletico destroy Independiente Medellín at a local bar. While the game started competitive, the final score was 5-2.

They have everything you can ever ask for: for fitness junkies to people watchers, just go here! Swimming, running, jogging, gymnastics, dancing, skateboarding, martial arts, fitness classes, gyms, and more! You can grab a bite to eat at one of the local shops or just wander around. Highly recommend.

Written April 29, 2018
how do public gain access to gyms/swimming/running track? is there a website with membership/pricing information many thanks
Written October 7, 2017
The running track has times for the public. It’s a few hours in the morning and a few in the afternoon when you can’t use it. Otherwise it’s free. Go there and check out the latest info. And the pools are 1 hour per day.

José, vi que sua mensagem é recente, irá para o jogo do Atlético Nacional x Botafogo?
Written April 8, 2017
Olá José! Eu fui para um jogo como visitante e pasme, não existia um setor expecífico para visitantes. A polícia fazia as vezes de cordão de isolamento, dentro da arquibancada mas o banheiros e lanchonetes eram de uso comum entre a torcida local e nós. Não houve nenhum incidente. NADA. Mas para quem está acostumado com o futebol no Brasil deu um medinho no começo para entrar no estádio.
