More Than Transit: The Pride of an Entire City

The Medellín Metro is much more than a transportation network crossing the valley from north to south; it is the living heritage of the Antioquian people. The famous “Metro Culture”—keeping every station spotless and treating every train car with pride—amazes travelers from around the globe.

Medellín also pioneered the world’s first urban public transit Metrocables (aerial cable cars), allowing riders to soar over the mountains up to Arví Ecological Park and connecting vibrant neighborhoods.
