Before Your Arrival

Welcome to The Marquee Guide to Medellín. Whether this is your first visit to Colombia or you are coming back for another adventure, a little planning will make your arrival smooth and stress-free. Here are some tips to get you started the right way. 

Getting from the Airport

The main airport serving Medellín is José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), located about 45 minutes outside the city. To ensure the most comfortable and secure transfer to the hotel, we recommend contacting our Front Desk in advance. We can arrange direct transport with professional drivers who will bring you straight to The Marquee.

If you’d like to explore alternatives, our team is happy to provide guidance on the best taxi services or private transfer options available.

 

Ride Apps in Medellín

Once in the city, you’ll notice that locals and visitors alike rely heavily on ride-hailing and delivery apps. Two of the most useful are:

  • Uber – widely used for safe, reliable rides across Medellín.
  • Rappi – the go-to app not only for food delivery, but also groceries, pharmacy items, and even small errands.

We suggest downloading these apps before your trip so you’re ready to move around the city with ease.
