No need to worry. Cartagena is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Colombia, well-equipped to handle visitors from all over the world. While English is widely spoken throughout the city, be prepared for some shops and street vendors that only speak Spanish. We recommend downloading a smartphone app such as Duolingo to help you practice a few key terms. The Google Translate App offers a Spanish file to download that can still be used while offline if you will not have an internet connection while in Colombia.
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us. Si bien amamos a sus pequeños, nuestra boda será un evento solo para adultos para que todos puedan relajarse y disfrutar de la noche. Agradecemos que hagas arreglos con anticipación y dejes a los niños en casa para que puedas celebrar con nosotros.
Cartagena's walled city is perfectly safe and the safest metropolis in Colombia. In general, the further from Old Town, the less savory the neighborhoods. As in any other major city, stay aware, be cognizant of your surroundings and keep your belongings close. WHAT'S THE NUMBER FOR 911? In the off chance that you run into any trouble, here are some emergency numbers everyone should know... National Emergency Number: 123 Tourist Police: (1) 3374413 Information: 113 U.S. Embassy in Colombia: (+57) (1) 275-2000
It is safe to hail a taxi, especially from landmarks. Taxi drivers have set fares to the most popular destinations, so you should confirm the amount before you leave. Private taxi companies (that work directly with hotels) are usually white and will charge a little bit more, but rides are comparatively very inexpensive. Note that taxis in Cartagena do not have taximeters. So, be careful of inflated taxi fares in Cartagena. To make sure you are not surprised at the fare at the destination when in Cartagena, always make sure to ask the fare to the destination before getting in a taxi.
The Colombian Peso is the official currency and the symbols are "$", "COP", or "COL$". Check out https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter
ATM'S are your best bet for exchanging money, as the fees are significantly less than those at the airport and most exchange houses in the walled city. Instead of converting US $ at the currency exchanges, we recommend getting Colombian pesos at an ATM (such as Bancolombia) instead. The exchange rate ATM machines provide will usually be very close to the actual exchange rates that can be seen on XE. Just remember that there are ATM usage fees for each withdrawal so try to plan your spending ahead.
Yes, credit cards are accepted in all major shops, restaurants, and hotels (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are the most common). Most credit cards offer no foreign transaction fees, but we recommend double checking with your bank and telling them that you will be traveling abroad to Colombia so they don't freeze your card. While many places accept credit cards, you will need cash for taxis and to purchase items from street vendors and mom-and-pop shops. You will also need cash if you plan to take any trips outside of the city
It's typically customary to tip around 10%. Many of the nicer restaurants will automatically add a service charge (or propina) to your bill, so make sure to check before paying.
The Old City is full of tourists and the locals know it. You will be approached by some street vendors. It's inevitable. They'll try to sell you hats, sunglasses, tobacco, etc. At times, it can seem a bit overwhelming but all you need to do is keep walking, look straight ahead, and say "no gracias". They'll move onto the next customer. To the extent you want to buy a souvenir, remember everything is 100% negotiable.
Stick to bottled water. You're fine drinking ice in cocktails and juice at a nice restaurant, as it's safe to assume they're using filtered water for their ice. In Cartagena, restaurants will serve both still water (sin gas) and sparkling (agua con gas). So be sure to specify which you prefer when placing an order
The Colombian Ministry of Health has announced that it will require a negative COVID-19 test result for all inbound international travelers. Beginning Tuesday, January 12, travelers arriving to Colombia must present negative results from a COVID-19 PCR test administered no more than 72 hours prior to departure. This rule applies to international arrivals regardless of age (including infants) or nationality, although authorities may make exceptions in rare cases for travelers to be tested and quarantined upon arrival. This test requirement is in addition to – and does not replace – the existing “Check-Mig” requirement for both inbound and outbound travelers. All travelers must complete the online Check-Mig form at https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/pre-registro/public/preregistro.jsf between 24 hours and 1 hour prior to arrival in, or departure from, Colombia. Carry a print-out of the form, and be ready to show the electronic version on your mobile device at Colombian immigration.
