"Plaza Botero At the center of Medellín, Plaza Botero gets its name from Colombian artist Fernando Botero, who donated 23 of his much-loved, disproportionate-bodied bronze sculptures to the city. There’s a huge chubby head, a reclining woman, and an oddly small man with a bowler hat riding a horse, plus good old Adam and Eve. The Museo de Antioquia abuts the plaza and houses other pieces by Botero as well as works by other artists. By day the square is vibrant and lively, but do take appropriate precautions after dark.

I definitely would make a visit to this vibrant area of the city. The sculptures are wonderful, the local market is a sight to see and the Palacio and museum in the same square is beautiful. Yes, it’s a bit sketchy, but safe in the day. Keep your phone and wallet close and be cautious as you would in any city; and enjoy!

Cool spot to view the sculptures and some affordable shopping but be careful. Lots of homeless people around and don't go at night. It's fine during the day.

Amazing statues and ambiance in the beautiful city. A lot of vendors and opportunities to buy fruit, drinks, snacks, and clothes. Very crowded and vibrant plaza. Definitely worth visiting in while in Medellin!

Honestly a bit disappointed mainly bc of all the older man searching for something they shouldn't here. Iykyk. They are out and about in this area and honestly ruins the vibe. I wouldn't go with family or kids here. Make sure your bags are visible at all times and try to enjoy the statues if you can.

If you are staying in Poblado or a fancy area , brace yourself as you meet the locals laying around in the streets of this area of town. The plaza itself is fairly clean with statues and tourists, the shops are safe as well .. prostitutes of all shapes and sizes line the streets , visit at will, it was interesting for me to see, others in my group felt a bit squeamish 🤷

While it's an interesting place to visit with great sculptures, architecture and history it is pretty hectic. Would not go with kids as way too many drug addicts walking around.

Cool statues, many vendors! It's more of a market than anything. There are many beggars here, watch your surroundings. The church is beautiful, but is ruined by the prostitutes leaning up against it sizing you up. The museum is closed by 5pm.

The sculptures are nice, the area not so much! So be careful and be fast if you are taking pictures. PLEASE do not go at night! It's not safe!
