A simple, stress-free guide for locals and travelers

This weekend, Medellín hosts one of the most anticipated events of the year: Bad Bunny live in concert.
If you’re visiting from another city or another country, these tips will help you avoid common mistakes, stay comfortable, and get home safely after the show.

📍 Concert location

The concert takes place at Estadio Atanasio Girardot, a central area that becomes extremely congested during major events.

👉 Key insight: the show is amazing — but your experience largely depends on how well you plan arrival and exit logistics.

🌧️ Be ready for rain (very important)

Medellín’s weather is unpredictable, especially in the afternoon and evening.

What to bring:

A rain poncho or light rain cape (better than umbrellas, which are often not allowed)
Comfortable shoes that can handle water
Light, quick-dry clothing
⚠️ Even if it doesn’t rain during the concert, the ground is often wet and cold when leaving.

🚗 Transportation: plan this in advance

This is the most critical part of the night.

❌ Uber at the end of the concert is NOT recommended
Extremely high demand
Surge pricing
Drivers cancel rides
Poor phone signal around the stadium
👉 Bottom line: waiting outside trying to book an Uber can easily turn into a 1–2 hour nightmare.

✅ Best option
Pre-book a private vehicle that:

Picks you up at a strategic nearby meeting point
Is scheduled for a specific time
Allows you to leave quickly and safely
Planning transportation ahead of time is the single best decision you can make.

⏰ Arrive early

Arrive at least 1.5–2 hours before showtime
Security checks and entry lines can be slow
Upper seating sections often take longer to access

🎒 What to bring (and what to avoid)

✔️ Bring:
ID or passport
Portable phone charger
Rain poncho
Small amount of cash (some vendors don’t accept cards)
❌ Avoid:
Large backpacks or bags
Big umbrellas
Unnecessary metal items

🏨 Tips for travelers visiting Medellín

Stay close to the stadium or in areas with easy access like Laureles or El Poblado (with private transportation).
Confirm late check-in policies at your hotel.
Don’t rely on last-minute transportation after the concert.

🎶 Final advice

The Bad Bunny concert will be unforgettable — but good planning makes the difference between an incredible night and a stressful one.

✔️ Rain gear ready
✔️ Transportation booked in advance
✔️ Early arrival
✔️ Smooth exit strategy

Enjoy Medellín, enjoy the music, and let the city do the rest — without chaos.
