Shopping in Medellin is a fantastic experience. You can do it in safety and comfort while taking advantage of an incredible array of commercial areas offering quality, variety, price, and flexible hours. All this, and more, while enjoying the best and friendliest of services.

The people of Antioquia, “paisas” as they are called, have made the commercial activity an essential characteristic of their identity. Transporting goods on the back of mules, Arrieria (mule-driving), was, since the late 19th century, a popular system used by paisas to expand the frontiers of their nascent activity.

Then, halfway through the middle of the past century, Medellin acquired the reputation of being an excellent destination for shopping. Events, such as the transformation of the centric Junín Street into a pedestrian walkway making “juniniar” – shopping on Junín – a fun way to buy, and the later opening of the first shopping centers in the country, reaffirmed the city’s vocation as a center of commerce.

Nowadays, besides being a traditional center of commerce, Medellin boasts more than 25 shopping malls, which due to their architecture and design, are attractions in their own right. These malls give shoppers access to textiles, fashionable clothing, furniture, home appliances, leather goods, books, music, handcrafted items, jewelry, toys, and many other products. In addition, the malls schedule 24-hour shopping days, special promotions and sales, and hold permanent cultural and recreational activities that make of them spaces for fun and leisure.

The century-old and well-known textile tradition of Medellin has been central for holding the most important fashion, garment-sector, and textile fairs of Latin America in the city. In fashion there is ample offering. Colombian and many foreign designers offer the latest in fashion at their own boutiques in the most exclusive malls as well as in Via Primavera and Provenza located near Parque Lleras in the fashionable Poblado neighborhood. Some areas in downtown and in the nearby city of Itagui are also visited by shoppers, especially whole sale garment buyers, many traveling from distant places, in search of variety, fine quality, and innovation at very reasonable prices.

All this history is happening today in a city where one of the major attractions it has to offer is the friendliness of its people, which is why shopping in Medellin is such a pleasurable activity.
