Travel Note
Cartagena is an extremely tourist-friendly and generally safe area. However, it's very important to stay vigilant and be aware of your surroundings. "No des papaya" is something you will hear over and over again in Colombia, and it means not to give someone an opportunity to take advantage of you. For example, don't leave your purse or bag open or unattended, keep it zipped up and on your body at all times. Don't walk around with your iPhone in your hand. Don't keep large amounts of cash with you; leave your valuables and passport locked up in your hotel room or Airbnb. Don't give anyone your CC when making a purchase (it's standard for any restaurant, store, or vendor to bring the card reader to you so you can make a payment).
Travel Note
Use UBER to get around the city, and to and from the airport. Taxis are known for taking advantage of tourists and overcharging.
