The July 20 long weekend is always a good time. Whether you live in Medellín and want a short getaway without leaving the city, or you’re planning a trip from out of town, El Poblado has enough to keep you busy for two or three days without having to go anywhere else. If you’re still deciding where to stay for that date, this guide will help you put the rest of your plans together.
A long weekend, well spent
The beauty of a long weekend is that you don’t have to cram everything into a single day. With three days ahead of you, you can balance activities and relaxation without the pressure of seeing everything at once. El Poblado lends itself well to that: take a walk through Provenza one afternoon, relax at the hotel the next day, and save the third day for something different, like a stroll through the coffee garden or simply sleeping in.
Things to Do Without Venturing Too Far From the Area
El Poblado has restaurants, specialty coffee shops, designer boutiques, and enough neighborhood charm to ensure that three days there won’t feel repetitive. For those who prefer not to travel far, the hotel itself offers several options: a gym for those who don’t want to skip their workout routine, a spa area with a hot tub and Turkish bath for days of total relaxation, and a garden with a coffee plantation for a quiet moment between activities.
The long weekend that follows right after the final
This year, the long weekend starting on July 20 falls just one day after the World Cup final on July 19. That means the atmosphere at Cofy Club will still be electric when the long weekend kicks off. If you got to celebrate the final with the Combos Mundialistas, the long weekend is the perfect time to slow things down without leaving the same atmosphere you’ve already come to love.
Reserve a table or just stop by for a meal
You don’t have to be a hotel guest to enjoy Cofy Club during the long weekend. The restaurant is open to the public, and for groups who want to reserve a table in advance—especially on evenings during the long weekend—it’s a good idea to confirm a few days ahead of time.
Why You Should Book This Long Weekend in Advance
July brings together school holidays, the buzz of the 2026 World Cup, and the July 20 long weekend, three factors that push up lodging demand in El Poblado at the same time. For families who need multiple rooms or more space, booking a few weeks ahead helps avoid running out of options right when dates are busiest. You can explore our rooms, the Cofy Club experience, other experiences at the hotel, or more about Café Hotel. To book directly, reach us through our contact page.
