About Cartagena

Cartagena de Indias, located on the northern coast of Colombia, has become one of the most popular destinations in the country. Nicknamed ‘Jewel of the Indies’, the monumental city used to be an important trading port between Spain and its overseas empire. The history can be felt when strolling on the cobbled streets of the old town and admiring the colourful colonial architecture. Cartagena’s walled city and fortress are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’re talking about one of the most beautiful and best-preserved cities in South America here!

Maybe a quick look at the map will help you discover the cheapest hostels in Cartagena, as well as the ones closest to the city centre. The centre of Cartagena is a colourful, vibrating area where you can find the most popular attractions. Other beautiful areas include San Diego, the neighbourhood located inside the Walled City of Cartagena. Or Crespo, an affluent residential neighbourhood where you’ll be able to learn about the Colombian society and culture.

Cartagena is a city full of culture and history, and you won’t have time to be bored during your stay. The historic city centre, which is surrounded by walls, is a truly unique place. Take a walk on its cobbled streets and visit churches, the Palace of Inquisition and the Clock Tower. Admire the colonial style architecture and enjoy the views of the castle of San Felipe, located at the other side of the city. Take break in one of the beautiful terraces and enjoy a traditional homemade treat like rice with tabaquito meat, egg arepa or a Colombian meat patty. Best nightlife can be found in Bocagrande, Arsenal Street and the Walled City. If you’re looking for some downtime, head to the islands of el Rosario, Barú and San Bernardo that have the best beaches in the area. They make a nice day trip.

To get around the city, it’s not recommended to rent a car, since it’s difficult to park in the centre. It’s better to walk and discover all the hidden treasures of Cartagena. For longer distances, you can take a bus or a taxi.
