Cartagena
Cartagena is a picturesque Caribbean city that charms visitors with its 16th-century architecture and lively music scene. Most of the visitor attractions are within the walls of the old city, but there’s much more to see.
More about Cartagena
Walk inside the walls of the Old City and be transported to the city’s colonial days. Cartagena used to serve as a major hub for trade from the West Indies from the 16th to the 18th century. The water is lined with old fortresses where the Spanish fought off their competitors. On a walk around this historic zone, you’ll find a wealth of beautiful old buildings including the famed Cathedral of Cartagena. Guests flock to this area for the boutique hotels and the brightly painted houses.
Step outside the Old City and experience the lively culture of modern-day Colombia. The Getsamaní neighborhood used to have a reputation as a dangerous area. Newly revitalized, it attracts visitors with its breathtaking street art. You’ll also find a good selection of bars that have live music and exuberant dancers.
Take advantage of Cartagena’s seaside location. On the northern side of the city, you’ll find the beach of Bocagrande. This beach is known for its lively bars and fun atmosphere.
