It's a trip worthwhile if you want to get a feel of the entire city. This cable car is an example of how much Medellin has transformed.  Connecting area's that were once unreachable and where the people had a hard time finding jobs because work was too far away.

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and do their best to explain how everything works. 
Metro de Medellin
3 The Metro de Medellin is a clean, safe and most stops have attractions of interest surrounding them. The purpose of this metro system was to allow villagers from outside of the town to have an efficient and affordable way to commute into the city to earn a living. The rides to the mountain tops are amazing too. Round trips are less than a dollar !! Excellent way to get about and take in the views and enjoy the city.
Laguna de Guatape

It takes around 1.5-hours from Medellin but so very worth it, there are 725 stairs that you will need to climb to reach the peak of The Rock (Piedra del Penol) where you get to see the amazing views of the Laguna de Guatape below. There are also many small cafes and restaurants found here where you can relax and enjoy the views.

An excellent way to relax from the bustling city for a day. Tons of hiking trails and vendors selling their fresh food or crafts.    
Plaza Botero
6 Plaza Botero is aptly named with the twenty-three amazing sculptures by Fernando Botero decorating the grounds. These sculptures are special and they can somehow express the spirit of Medellin. Enjoy the local vendors selling their wares or visit the beautiful old church and museums that surround the plaza with guided tours mainly starting and ending in this square. It is a busy area with something for everyone. 
Pueblito Paisa

Pueblito Paisa a fabulous that gives you a full 360-degree view of Medellin. We found it to be a relaxing place to spend 60-90 minutes. There are a large number of snack and souvenirs vendors to choose from, and the prices are reasonable.
Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica
8  The church is modern and beautiful. The church only opens for mass which is usually at 6 pm every evening. Medellin Metropolitan Cathedral is situated in a very lovely location with easy access to nice cafes and restaurants. This is a beautiful and clean cathedral from the outside near a nice tree filled the park if you want to relax. There is a statue of Simon Bolivar outside the church.
Plaza Cisneros
9 Drug dealers formerly ran this part of the town. However, they shut all that down and put up these lights to symbolise hope and prosperity for the future of the city. They decided to regenerate the area to make it more attractive, the plaza was then renovated to include the 300  poles, all manmade with concrete and metal. Every evening the poles are illuminated with seven reflectors in each pole, Looks amazing at night.
Museo del Agua EPM
10 Museo del Agua EPM is an interactive and educating museum all about water and showing how vital H20 is in our lives for sustaining us, the planet's ecosystem. A highlight of any guided tour to this museum is the interactive Dinosaur room.
