Things to Do in Cartagena
Bienvenidos a Cartagena, a magical city on Colombia's Caribbean coast that seamlessly blends centuries of history with the vibrant spirit of the present. This enchanting destination, with its cobblestone streets, colorful colonial architecture, and coastal charm, beckons travelers to discover a world where tales of pirates, cultural richness, and tropical beauty come to life.

Cartagena's historic walled city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a living testament to its storied past. Wander through the narrow alleys of the Old Town, where bougainvillea-draped balconies overlook lively plazas, and explore iconic landmarks such as the San Felipe Castle, a fortress that whispers tales of battles and conquests.
As the sun dips below the horizon, Cartagena transforms into a romantic dreamscape. The city's walls come alive with the warm glow of street lanterns, and the vibrant nightlife spills into the streets. Enjoy live music at open-air cafes, savor traditional Colombian cuisine in hidden courtyards, and let the rhythms of salsa invite you to dance under the stars.
Cartagena's Caribbean beaches, like Bocagrande and Playa Blanca, offer pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, inviting relaxation and water adventures alike. Explore the nearby Rosario Islands, a tropical paradise where coral reefs teem with marine life, perfect for snorkeling and island-hopping.
