Cartagena is one of the jewels of Colombia. A colonial historical city founded in the 16th century, its fascinating vitality lives on today.

The old town, or Walled City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through different sections of the bastions and enjoy beautiful views. Its colorful architecture, with arcades and canopied balconies, is charming. Among the symbols of the city is the Clock Tower. The Cathedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandría is one of the oldest in South America. In this city, the plaza squares exude life. Plazas such as The Cars, Customs, and San Pedro Claver, are prime examples. The Gold Museum exhibits unique pieces from the pre-Columbian era.

Street art has taken over the charming Gethsemane neighborhood. Check out the lively local life in the Bazurto Market or the Plaza de la Santísima Trinidad. The contrast with the international Bocagrande neighborhood, full of skyscrapers, is remarkable. A walk along the Malecon in Crespo brings you its maritime air.

To enjoy an exclusive panoramic view of the city, go up to Cerro de la Popa, where there is a beautiful 17th century convent which can be visited. From Cartagena, you can start excursions to wonderful places like the Rosario islands. Hotels set in Caribbean mansions with their typical central patio, round off the visit to this unforgettable city.
