PRACTICAL INFO

Malls in Medellin are something of an institution. A place to be seen, hang out with friends or go shopping.

If you want to relax in one of the many malls in Medellin for a few hours they offer everything you might expect such as restaurants, fast food courts, clothing stores, cineplexes, good parking facilities and more.

Addresses are given but give yourself a break and take a taxi because navigating Medellin takes some doing.

The main malls in Medellin:

• Santa Fe

• Oviedo

• El Tesoro

• San Diego

• Unicentro

• Vizcaya

• Monterrey Medellin is booming and shopping centres are popping up left, right and center.

Santa Fe

Just up the road from Oviedo on Avenida el Poblado.

Enormous. Apparently the largest in Latin America. Lacks the charm of some of the older malls but has a large selection for anyone looking to increase their wardrobe. Not a very good restaurant selection - mainly fast food.

Oviedo

Cra. 43a #6 Sur-15 (On El Poblado next to McDonalds)

Oviedo is still the fanciest in Medellin and centrally located in El Poblado right next to the Hotel Plaza del Poblado.

El Tesoro

Cra. 25a 1a Sur-45 (On Transversal Superior)

El Tesoro used to be #1 but Oviedo and Santa Fe give tough competition.

It has a magnificent view over the city and is a bit more quiet than Oviedo. Worth the visit for the view.

San Diego

Cl. 34 #43-66 (On El Poblado toward downtown district)

A nice alternative and a bit more down to earth. Located strategically between El Poblado and Centro (Downtown).

Take the opportunity to wander around the neighbouring area toward El Poblado that is fairly charming with a number of small Tienda (shops) selling snacks, coffees and such.

Unicentro

Cra. 66b # 34a-76 (In central Medellin)

A family mall. Friendly and relaxed with all the usual. There is a Crepes and Waffles on the 3rd floor that is easily overlooked.

Vizcaya

Cl. 9 #30-382 (3 min walk up from Parque Lleras)

The mall is no longer that popular but is interesting for 3 reasons:

- Excellent view over El Poblado.
- Has cheap cinemas that are never full.
- Decent indoor climbing wall in the basement parking house.

Monterrey

Cra. 48 & Calle 10 (Right next to the Calle 10 Metro station)

Specializes in electronics and computers and has a decent bowling alley on the top floor. Lacks good places to eat but has a cineplex.
