WhAT TO EXPLORE in Cartagena
Cartagena's Old City (the “Ciudad Amurallada”) is its main attraction. The Old City is a true wonder of colonial architecture, packed with churches, monasteries, plazas, palaces, and mansions, all featuring picturesque balconies and shaded patios.
Below is a short list of recommended activities and places to explore. In our experience, the best approach to getting to know the Old City is just to wander around it leisurely, savoring the architectural details and rich street life as you go. Cartagena just feels so vibrantly alive.
