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

4/5 - Good

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

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

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