Walled City — Centro Histórico

Why we recommend Walled City — Centro Histórico

The romantic heart of Cartagena and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thirteen kilometers of coral stone walls encircle one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the Americas — bougainvillea-draped balconies, plazas that come alive at night with music, dancing, and street performers. The best way to experience it is simply to walk and follow whatever looks interesting.

What We Love

  • Everything is walkable — ideal base for first-time visitors
  • Incredible concentration of restaurants, bars, and shops in a small area
  • Beautiful at every hour, especially after dark
  • Very photogenic — an Instagrammer's dream
  • Fun and vibrant nightlife

What to know

  • Crowded December, January, and Semana Santa
  • Very hot and humid
  • Accommodation prices are the highest in the city
  • Street vendors and rappers are persistent — a firm "no gracias" is your best friend
  • Uneven sidewalks and unexpected holes in the ground — watch your step
  • Power outages are not uncommon
