The 8 Nightlife Experiences in Medellín That Earn Their Price

1.Salsa & Bachata Nightlife Tour in Medellín with a Local Dancer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 127 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $45Our pick

Learn salsa and bachata basics with Ahmadi, then head to local rooftops and clubs in Medellín’s El Poblado, with all levels welcome.

“It was a very fun and nice time. It started out slow with lessons for absolute beginners. Then we transitioned to another venue with many more locals who dance at a high level, mainly salsa and bachata. If not super comfortable with dancing with those at a higher level, it’s okay to end your night at the lessons, or you can continue to the next venue to watch and learn. If you have a higher level you can hop in with whoever! It’s cool because you stay as long as you want. Lessons are great for meeting international people, the next venue(s) great for meeting locals.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 31 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $49

Live the Nightlife rooftop pub crawl in Medellín, El Poblado. Four terrace stops, drinks, and a 50% discount at Bolivar nightclub.

“This was the worst bar crawl and experience I’ve had in Colombia. List of red flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩 1. I booked and paid, but they didn’t actually have a crawl the date I booked and paid for so they moved me/ 2. They sent a long message about how formal and strict the dress code is. 3. I arrive after waiting 2 days to a hostel and everyone is in tshirt and shorts while I’m in heels and a dress. 4. The tour guides (if you could even call them that) can’t get anyone’s attention or anyone to follow them. We leave for the club 30 minutes late. 5. The tour…”
