The plane across the river from the center is where the easily likeable barrios of Laureles and San Joaquin are located. This area is not as expensive as El Poblado, but still very tranquil and safe. This is where the UPB university is located, as well as the Unicentro shopping center (not nearly as nice as El Tesoro though). There are two small parks here and many reasonably priced restaurants. The main thoroughfare is Carrera 70 which separates the two barrios.
San Joaquin is the home to a large modern church with several metal cupola. Its design is creative and unique. Leave a Comment Directions: West from the center

This area located along Carrera 43 in the very south of the city is the main center for banks, hotels and shopping. There is even a casino here as well as an obligatory McDonald's. Leave a Comment Address: Carrera 43A and Calle 5 SurDirections: southern suburbs

This is one of the many nice parks in the city. The columns are supposed to be illuminated at night. There is a modern library building located next to it. This park separates the government complex from the bustle of the commercial center of the city. Leave a Comment Directions: Centro

Southern, or Southeastern suburbs comprise the 'nicest' part of the city. It is very nicely landscaped, clean, and full of those brick hi-rise buildings that Colombians like. This is definitely an area of choice to live in, both as a resident or as a tourist.
The main wealthy suburb is called El Poblado, and others around it are called El Tesoro, La Florida, Las Palmas, Envigado. It is very nice to walk here; however, you have to be fit because the inclines are VERY steep. Leave a Comment Directions: southestern part of the city

I grouped these two together because they are next to each other, and the subway station Universidad separates them. (Incidentally, the University of Antioquia is located there as well).
Parque de Los Deseo is really a concrete plaza full of people. I mean, there is a million people there, or at least it seems so. It has fountains that shoot out of the pavement and sand areas for children, but most people here are student of the university.
Jardin Botanico is pleasant enough, but it is not the greatest botanical garden by far. It has a lot of trees called laureles, bamboo, some palm trees. There is a large green house. Entrance is $4,000 (pesos, not dollars). Leave a Comment Directions: Station Universidad
