Plaza Botero is definitely worth a visit. Nice place to sit and admire botero's sculptures. Don't miss the fantastic museum.

Good place to go, lots of statues and museums. However I would only visit the area during the day. It gets very sketchy at night, there is a pretty good police presence, but be careful with pickpockets as the area gets very crowded sometimes.

I actually didn't know what I was going to see when I went to the plaza, but it is brilliant! The statues are fantastic as is some of the surrounding architecture.

Awesome to see so many iconic Botero sculptures in one place, but this place is definitely one where tourists are seen as easy prey. Expect to be approached by mimes, hat vendors, etc. I would consider this plaza a "must-see" if you've made the effort to visit Medellin, but just stay alert.
