Why you'll love it

Medellín is Colombia's second city, set in a green Andean valley and known for its mild, spring-like weather all year. It scores 9 out of 10 for remote work, and 8 for food, nightlife and value, which has made it a favourite base for digital nomads.

The best time to visit Medellín is December to March, the drier months. Temperatures are mild year-round, and the city's Flower Festival is held each August.

Ride the Metrocable cable cars for views over the valley, and take a guided tour of Comuna 13, known for its street art and outdoor escalators. Visit Botero Plaza and the Museum of Antioquia, and spend evenings in El Poblado or Laureles. Guatapé, with its colourful town and the giant El Peñol rock, is a popular day trip.

Medellín suits remote workers, groups of friends and budget travellers.
