Nice place to visit when the Corona virus issues passes - renting a car was the best solution to move around and go places.

The Walled City is beautiful, but it's also busy and expensive. Be mindful that you'll be harassed all the time.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Walled City has historic charm for sure. El Centro noisy and very touristy. Liked walking in nearby San Diego and Getsamani neighborhoods.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Great weather, amazing people, horrible traffic, and amazing views! Cartagena is a lovely city and the architecture transports you to a different era. You can find anything from relaxing places to fun night life. Lots of tours available

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It was my second time and my wife's first time to visit. Love the city, love the people. Old town was a great place to visit and we felt completely safe walking around even at night.

5/5 - Excellent

SlimGoody

Super affordable, easily accessible, the area is a giant circle so it's hard to get lost, but people are very helpful and kind.
