Hey Timon, don't read those regionalism comments that are full of hate talking bad of a city, Colombia is amazing no matter what city you like most. BogotĂĄ is one of the most important cities and with more potential for the future in latin america, you are very welcome to come back again. Also yo can visit other cities like Bucaramanga, Cartagena, Villa De Leyva, Santa Marta, there are so many beautiful places to visit here.
Thank you đ
I totally agree with you, as a mexican, I prefered BogotĂĄ tooâŠmore touristic and different, Medellin reminds me to a normal city without tourism in MĂ©xico
Thank you, thank you! Gracias! I want to make time to see both cities, but your video helped me with my decision to focus more on Bogagta.
Thank you! Thatâs awesome to hear.
I lived a nomad existence for 17 years. 9 Asian countries, 7 South American counties, and 8 European countries.
People often asked me the best place I've ever been to? My answer is always Medellin. The nicest city, in the nicest country, filled with the nicest people I've ever met.
Love to hear it!
Sir can you share more of your observations?
For instance, why is it better than philippines?
I honestly believe that Bogota has much more to offer.
Este paĂs que se llama Colombia, es un paĂs maravilloso y me siento orgullosa de ser colombiana, pero yo les digo a aquellas personas que no aceptan las cosas como son por regionalismo o por que son admiradoras de una regiĂłn determinada, pero tenemos que respetar y aceptar la cosas como son, se nota una rabia por ciertos tĂ©rminos tan bajos , como por ejemplo que BogotĂĄ es un basurero de una manera despectiva, pues yo les digo con todo el respeto a esas personas que se expresan de esa manera, si a uno no le gusta algo, es respetable, no hay problema, pero hay que aceptar con madurez, pues resulta que asĂ no me guste BogotĂĄ, uno tiene que tener conocimiento de que BogotĂĄ es la ciudad mĂĄs importante de este paĂs en la mayorĂa de aspectos y que cada uno de esos aspectos, varios de ellos son de mucho peso, que asĂ no tenga metro , eso ha sido por la corrupciĂłn de la ciudad , pero lo va a tener , se estĂĄ construyendo actualmente BogotĂĄ estarĂĄ siempre por encima de MedellĂn, con todo el respeto lo digo y yo soy tolimense. BogotĂĄ es el potencial mĂĄs poderoso de Colombia en tĂ©rminos generales, no por 4 o 5 cosas literalmente, comenzando con ese aeropuerto de talla mundial y esa conectividad que tiene BogotĂĄ, que no la tiene ninguna ciudad de Colombia, con esos dos aspectos no mĂĄs , BogotĂĄ estĂĄ muy por encima, eso es mucho peso para que BogotĂĄ sea una verdadera capital de pais. Me encantan todas las ciudades de Colombia, todas tienen lo suyo, pero BogotĂĄ es la mayor ciudad de Colombia, es el papĂĄ de los pollitos, con todo el respeto lo digo con estas letras.
Buena elecciĂłn!!
Marc Anthony He Live Bogota Or Medellin Colombia Colombia We Missed You So Much We Loved You So Much Marc Anthony
MedellĂn is liked by Europeans, gringos and other people from other countries, simply because of drug tourism and sex tourism. They do a wonder!
While BogotĂĄ is the one that drives the country's economy and IDH!
Curious that you say it when precisely BOGOTA has the largest tolerance zone in the Western Hemisphere, even BOGOTA already has 5 tolerance zones, the worst thing is that in Bogota women sell for 3 pesos, at least the Medellin prostitutes are first class level, and how brazenly do you talk about drugs if Bogota is the square of vice on the planet, let the National Geographic airport say so, (90% of the world's coca leaves Bogota), even in the T zone of Bogota They sell drugs with VAT and I receive tourists so that tourists believe that it is "legal" and thus buy and consume a lot.
@@DBM1234-d1f Sera que en Medellin no nacio el peor Narcotraficante de la historia, que exportaba el 80% de cocaina a EEUU
MedellĂn tiene el espendio de droga mĂĄs grande de LatinoamĂ©rica junto al prostĂbulo mĂĄs grande al aire libre en el mundo en ItagĂŒĂ estĂĄ la raya otro lugar de prostitutas grandes en las comunas hay grupos delincuenciales como trianas pacheli los de la terraza que extorsionan en envigado estĂĄ la oficina delincuencial mĂĄs grande de Colombia
BogotĂĄ đ
I love Medellin vibe
Me too đ
BogotĂĄ thr best
Hello, I hope that the creator of the video as the users who like to see the comments like me see my opinion.
I have lived and known both cities beyond tourism, and I think that each one has its own attraction, for example BOGOTĂ is rich in HDI, culture, history and economy, this city is very convenient to work for its greater labor supply in specialized jobs, however for foreign tourists to whom this video is focused, MEDELLĂN is definitely the best tourist attraction if we refer to knowing many urban tourist sites in a short time due to its convenient means of transportation for tourists, the human quality, and also the city has focused on tourism and innovation. However, you cannot say that you knew the best tourist sites of each one, you missed a lot, that obviously due to the time you came you did not manage to archieve it completely, Colombia is also unknown only by visiting both cities, Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries and multicultural in the world, if it is not the first. There are deserts, mangroves, paramos, snow-capped mountains, tropical forests, indigenous reservations, an immense variety of fruits and vegetables, 2 oceans, a wonderful island called San Andres, we are dancers, singers, writers, scientists, athletes, and others.
And please don't create more regionalisms between BOG and MED with your videos, just look at the comments you cause with your video, we already have enough with our dark past between both cities, better dedicate yourself to showing the best of each city and we would appreciate it. I say this very respectfully thanks.
Thank you very much for your comment Daniel! I appreciate your opinion a lot and I think you made sone great points. This video is solely focused on my personal opinion and about tourism in both cities. It is not my intent to divide people in any way and if you check out my vlog from both places (and others in Colombia) youâll see my positive take aways from both cities. đ Colombia is such a beautiful country. Thanks again for your feedback.

On March 17, TIME magazine included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023.
And in January THE NEW YORK TIMES also included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023.
â€Medellin is the #1 city in quality of life in the country, it has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists and is, according to Dane, the city with the lowest unemployment in the country in 2023.
Who cares it's his personal opinion
Crys in Perico.
OBVIAMENTE BOGOTA ES MUCHO MEJOR CIUDAD Y OFRECE MUCHISIMO MAS EN TURISMO, CULTURA, HISTORIA,ARQUITECTURA,GASTRONOMIA, PAISAJES ,ECONOMIA, ETC ETC ETC
BogotĂĄ is at 8.661 feet above sea level!
Some Medellin people are just trashtalk spammers as you can see in the comments.
Arriving to Bogota via international flight is a nightmare (you will be stuck in line for several hours as a non Colombian without Biometrics). Really hope they figure out their immigration checkpoint issues, that would make the arrival so much better.
Itâs the same than others countrys. For example, immigration at MIA airport is a complete nightmare.
even MADONNA (the queen of pop) dedicated a song to Medellin since she fell in love with the city when she visited it on her 2012 MDNA world tour, it wasn't even Bogota because she had very bad references to the city.
I didnât know that. Thanks for the info and I can see that MedellĂn is very popular đ
@@timontravels i was to the stereopicnic event, i am from puerto rico, and Bogota has very recognize international events, all the big artist come to Bogota, unfurtunately not to Medellin, Madonna was an exceptional event because the stadium of Bogota was used at that time, however all the big artist like dua lipa, miley cirus, cold play, justin biever, sam smith, bruno mar, one direction, kiss, gorillaz, etc has been in Bogota, only the big artist around the world choose the most important and relevant cities in latina merican to do the concerts, sometimes in san juan (city where i live ) no all the artist come so i need to check and book the next concert to Sao Paulo, Bogota, Bueno Aires or Mexico DF
Not all that you hear is true, Bogota has Good thinks and Bad things, that all the citys in Colombia
BogotĂĄ has more concerts and events through the year than any other city in Colombia, Like: Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Artic Monkeys, Bad Bunny, Guns n' roses, Gorillaz, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Drake, Billie Elliesh, The Strokes, KISS, Pantera, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Strokes, La RosalĂa, Imagine Dragons, 21 Pilots, C Tangana, Metallica, Iron Maiden. Also we have international festivals like Estereo Picnic, Rock al Parque, Baum Festival, Cordilleras, DĂa del Rock, Jazz al Parque and Festival Primavera.

What will you think now when you know that in November 2022 Medellin was elevated to the category of SMART TOURIST DESTINATION (unique in Colombia and second in Latin America along with Tequila-Mexico)
What would you think when you found out that DISNEY collaborated with Medellin to carry out the Christmas lights in Medellin in 2022.
What would you think now when you know that THE NEW YORK TIMES included Medellin among the 52 best destinations in the world in 2023?
If you only visit the non-touristy part of downtown Medellin, obviously you won't like it, it's like visiting the most decadent area in the center of your city and saying that I don't like it for that, it's not the city's fault, it's you for interfering in the worst area. Be thankful that you didn't see the ugly part of downtown Bogota because you didn't get out alive, that's what you saw in downtown Medellin but multiplied by 10.
Crying in Perico 4
Jajajajaj
Did you know only the small tourist part of the center of Bogota and do you think that this is how the whole center of Bogota is?đ also you did not know the beautiful part of the center of medellin, what you showed is the most chaotic and underground area of ââthe center of Medellin and yet nothing happened to you, walk through the most chaotic areas of the center of bogota and if they just rob you you can say that it went well for you, I also challenge you to go with your camera in hand to the poor neighborhoods of Bogota so you can see what happens to you, on the other hand in Medellin even the poorest neighborhoods are touristic and safe, which no city in the country can tell.
Iam from Puerto Rico, visited both cities and defenitely Bogota has better dowtown, a lot universites one of the best in latinamerican, museums, historical and colonial architecture. the dowtwon of Medellin really doesnt have any interesting, a lot people that sell cloth on the streets, some very dangerous areas, (similar happen to Bogota) but the difference is that has historical things to do. I forget to said that have in the Dowtonw an international CBD, I didnt saw that in Medellin. Only la milla de oro but this hapens too in Bogota with the 72 cbd, or santa barbara cbd or slaitre CBD, but in the dowtown only the coltejer building but not really somethin interesting.
@@leonardomendez2244 te toca hacerte pasar por boricua para destacar a bogota ja ja ja
Ahora busque en interner CUAL ES LA MEJOR CIUDAD DE COLOMBIA y dime cual es la #1 en todas las paginas đ
@@DBM1234-d1f ok ya lo hice, lo puse por categorias y en la mayoria sale Bogota. mayor PIB, mejores centros finacieros, mayor economia, alto indice de desarrollo urbano, mejores centros educativos, ciudad con uno de los mejores catalogos culturales y musicales de america latina., dice que es uno de los hubs aeropurtuarios de america latina ( solo Sao Paulo y Mexico df, le ganan), por otro lado cual es el punto de querer hacer cambiar mi opinion de acuerdo a lo que vi cuando visite el pais....mi ultima visita fue en el 2019 para el festiva estereo picnic, especialmente para el concierto de sam smith, el solo visito las ciudades mas importantes y con mayorr publico que consume musica internacional en america latina.
@@leonardomendez2244 si en la mayoria de categorias bogota es la primera por que en la medicion GENERAL bogota es #5 y medellin es la #1?? Ja ja ja tus pajasos mentales no tienen logica.
@@leonardomendez2244 tanto texto y al final del dia bogota tiene 30 años de atraso al lado de medellin.
Pos: madonna y beyonce que han sido las que han realizado los conciertos mas gramdes de colombia en taquilla y presupuesto solo se presentaron en medellin. Asi que....
Ah y dices que eres de puerto rico sabias que bad bunny solo se presentara en medellin? Hasta le ofrecieron otra fecha en bogota y el dijo que queria hacer sus 2 conciertos solo en medellin.
According to the official entities that are responsible for measuring the quality of life of cities in Colombia, MEDELLIN is the #1 city in quality of life in the country, while BOGOTA appears as the #5 city with the best quality of life in Colombia, behind MEDELLIN , MANIZALES, BUCARAMANGA & BARRANQUILLA, so draw your own conclusions, that BOGOTA being the capital is the fifth city in the country with the best quality of life leaves much to say about BOGOTA.
False.
Mentira
Pregunta quien tiene la mayor tasa de empleo, y la tasa mas baja de pobreza en este pais, no creo que sean ni Medellin,Manizales ni Barranquilla
Only people looking for drgs, pr0s tltutlon or any kind of mafi a experience go to medellin.
Esta cuenta va por todos los videos de BogotĂĄ con informaciĂłn falsa y cuando uno le muestra los datos reales, solo hace spam e intenta 'insultar'. Que mal dejas a la gente de MedellĂn.
conclusion of the video, you did not know anything about medellin, you lacked to know practically everything.
I certainly appreciate your opinion and I will try to do better next time. đ
Why are medellĂn people so envious? Certainly BogotĂĄ is way better offers a lot more and its city center is better organized with beautiful streets and lack of 'night ladies'

What?đš BOGOTA is 20 years behind Medellin And you say that city dump is better than Medellin? Bogota does not even have a metro, the incredible thing is that you get excited with a cable car on the hill of Monserrate in Bogota and Medellin has 6 more panoramic cable cars throughout the city, oh my god, you missed your trip to Medellin because all the tourists say that Medellin It is the best city in Colombia, the curious thing is that you only knew the beautiful and touristic part of the center of Bogota and you think that this is the true center of Bogota, your video made me laugh more than it was regret, why say these stupid things understand that you did not know Medellin.
Damn, I probably should go back to MedellĂn then đ€·ââïž Sorry that you didnât like the video.
Primero Transmilenio transporta mucho mas gente, que ese Metro de los 90s de Medellin segun estudios reales, y ademas la tarifa es mas barata y pasa mas constantemente que ese Metro, aparte e visto videos de ese Metro en horas pico y si se quiere es mas congestionado que Transmilenio, sin contar que Bogota desde Noviembre de 2020 ya esta construyendo el suyo, y va ser mucho mejor que el de Medellin, ademas Bogota desde Diciembre de 2018 tiene metrocable, en el barrio Ciudad Bolibar, mire que ciudad tiene la mejor economia del pais,la tasa de desempleo mas baja, el mejor turismo, a Bogota la revista Times la recomendo entre las 50 ciudades a visitar en 2022, la mayor inversion,Bogota crece en infraestructura a pasos agigantados, quien tiene los mejores museos,centros de investigacion,Bibliotecas,Edificios Modernos,Parques Publicos, Centros de Ferias,Eventos,Restaurantes, Centro Historico,Hospitales,Laboratorios Clinicos,Colegios,Universidades,Hoteles, en Bogota hoy se estan moviendo 1200 proyectos incluido el Metro, le parece que en serio, Bogota tiene 20 años de atraso frente a Medellin? Yo creo que es al reves, otra cosa es que llega gente de todos lados a destruir nuestra ciudad, y acabar con nuestra raza, antes ni deberian comparar ese Moridero con Tren, con la capital de Colombia y una Metropolis como Bogota
The only good thing about Medellin are means of transportation
Candy Crush,
If you are Colombian, and dare to call BogotĂĄ a city dump, then it means that you are an embarrassment as a Colombian!
This is about someone's point view, it's not about disrespecting the capital city of your own nation.
If you talk bad about any place in your country, you are still putting your country down! Remember you are still Colombian as the people from the other cities in your country!!!
Hola, disculpa que difiera pero e conocido muchos extranjeros que visitaron colombia, y todos dicen lo mismo, les termina gustando mas BogotĂĄ, a demĂĄs de usar constantemente la palabra "infravalorada" quiza puede ser por algo no crees?, tambiĂ©n justamente varios de ellos me comentaron como en zonas como barranquilla y medellin les hacian mala publicidad de bogota, pero una vez visitaron bogota, la pusieorn por encima de las demas a nivel turistico, no creo que sea coincidencia, y veo en estos comentarios a varios paisas atacando al youtuber por dar su honesta opiniĂłn como turista, lo unico que hacen con esos comentarios es dar una mala imagen, quiza deberĂamos dejar de ser tan polarizados y aceptar que cada region tiene lo suyo para ofrecer, pero si alguien de otro paĂs prefiere bogota a medellin, quien eres tu para obligarle a cambiar de opiniĂłn? a demas hablas de cosas como el metro, que no tiene sentido, para empezar medellin solo es un poco mas grande que una sola localidad de bogota, y no es lo mismo crear un metro para una ciudad como medellin, que es pequeña, a una ciudad como bogota, que es las cuarta mas grande de latinoamerica y tiene mas de 10 millones de habitantes, sin mencionar que es un metro que a dĂa de hoy esta obsoleto en cuando capacidad, y que a demĂĄs a los paisas se les olvida mencionar que parte del dinero con el que se construyo el metro de medellĂn, vino de el distrito capital, osea, BogotĂĄ, la naciĂłn pago el 60%, medellĂn el 20% y bogotĂĄ el 20%, sigo sin entender de a donde nace este deseo de minimizar otras zonas del paĂs y mas de la capital, cuando la capital a sido la columna vertebral del paĂs desde siempre.
