The best time to travel to Medellín and what to pack: a guide from Sloh Hotel & Bar

Medellín, the city of eternal spring


Medellín is known worldwide as the city of eternal spring. Its temperate climate, with temperatures ranging between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius throughout the year, makes it an attractive destination in any season.

But if you're wondering when is the best time to travel to Medellín, the answer depends on what you want to experience: from the magic of the Christmas lights to the joy of the Flower Festival to perfect days for excursions to nearby towns.


At Sloh Hotel & Bar, located in the Manila neighborhood of El Poblado, we help you plan your trip so you can make the most of each season.

 

When to travel to Medellín: month by month

  • January to March: warm weather and sunny days, ideal for exploring the city and visiting nearby towns such as Guatapé or Jardín.
  • April and May: short rainy season; the city is dressed in green and the mountainous landscapes look spectacular.
  • June and July: good weather and great cultural activity; Medellín welcomes visitors from all over the world.
  • August: the famous Flower Fair, the city's most representative event, with parades and concerts.
  • September to November: quiet months, with fewer tourists and lower prices; perfect for a relaxing stay.
  • December: the most magical time of year, with Christmas lights, novenas, and traditions that fill every corner of Medellín with joy.

 

What to pack for a trip to Medellín

Although the weather is pleasant all year round, it is important to pack wisely. Here is a practical list:

  • Lightweight, cool clothing: comfortable shirts, blouses, and pants for daytime wear.
  • Light jacket or sweater: nights can be cool, especially in higher areas.
  • Comfortable walking shoes: Medellín is perfect for walking and exploring neighborhoods such as Manila, Provenza, or Comuna 13.
  • Umbrella or raincoat: showers are brief but common during the April-May and September-November seasons.
  • Sunscreen and sunglasses: even in temperate weather, the sun in Medellín can be intense.
  • Swimsuit: if you plan to visit farms, hotels with swimming pools, or take trips to nearby towns.
