Things To Do
Explore the Walled City
Step back in time as you stroll through Cartagena’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with colonial architecture, vibrant balconies, and charming plazas. Lose yourself in the winding streets, pop into local boutiques, and stop for gelato in Plaza Santo Domingo.
Sunset at Café del Mar
Perched along the city walls, Café del Mar is the perfect spot to watch the sun dip into the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy a cocktail, a soft ocean breeze, and panoramic views — a truly unforgettable Cartagena moment.
Day Trip to the Rosario Islands
A short boat ride from the city, the Islas del Rosario offer crystal-clear waters, white sand, and relaxation. You can visit for the day or reserve a private cabana at an island beach club like Bora Bora or Blue Apple Beach House.
Dine & Dance Under the Stars
Cartagena’s culinary scene is as vibrant as its sunsets. Savor dinner at Carmen Cartagena, Celele, or Lunático, then dance the night away in Getsemaní, where salsa music spills into the streets and laughter lingers in the air.
Shop Local Treasures
Bring a piece of Cartagena home. Browse handcrafted jewelry, woven bags, and linen attire from local artisans at St. Dom, Silvia Tcherassi, or the markets!
Visit the Convento de la Popa
For breathtaking views of the city, take a short ride to Convento de la Popa, perched high above Cartagena. The view at sunset is absolutely magical — a beautiful reminder of why this city feels like a dream.
Relax & Unwind
Simply cool off by the pool with a fresh coconut in hand — you’re on Cartagena time.
