Cartagena, however you want it.

Welcome to Cartagena, the most attractive urban destination of the Caribbean! This vibrant city is a melting pot of cultural influences, thanks to its beginnings as a major hub of slave trade in the Americas. From its cuisine to its music, Cartagena offers a tantalizing mix of flavors and sounds that will leave you wanting more. As you stroll through the city's inviting squares, you'll find locals playing dominoes while tourists capture the perfect shot of the incredibly photogenic 'planenqueras' in the background. Most tours of the city start with an exploration of Cartagena's incredibly attractive Old Town, where you'll be transported back in time by the beautifully preserved colonial streets. For a taste of local life, head to Getsemani, the best neighborhood in the city to watch the world go by both before and after dark. San Diego is another area of the city favored by visitors, with its abundance of solid and affordable accommodation options. At night, Getsemani comes alive with an abundance of bars and dance clubs that offer a great taste of Cartagena's take on pura vida.
