Things To Do & Restaurants
Caribbean and Emerald Jewelry Museum
If you like emeralds, the story behind these beautiful stones would just make you want to buy one! Maria reminds us that it is good luck to have an esmeralda even if it’s a tiny one.
Walled City
The city and its fortifications is truly colonial art. You will also find historic walking areas such as: Barrio Getsemani, brightly colored homes and hostels, Sanctuary of Saint Peter Claver, Plaza Santo Domingo, Plaza de la Trinidad and a plethora of stores and restaurants.
Centro Comercial La Serrezuela
Shopping Mall filled with a diverse array of Colombian designers and well known brands . This used to be an old bull fighting ring and was transformed into a modern mall with tasteful architecture that preserves the antiquity and rich history of the original building.
Crepes and Waffles
This is one of Maria's favorite places to get ice cream, dessert, brunch, breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course waffles. Affordable and amazing food. ($) It has several locations, two in the old city and one in Bocagrande.
