Cartagena Walled City

Cartagena Walled City's stone ramparts and cobblestone streets transport you straight to colonial times.

Explore the Palace of Inquisition museum or climb the Clock Tower for breathtaking Caribbean views.

Getsemani

Getsemani bursts with color and culture as Cartagena's trendiest historic neighborhood. Plaza Trinidad buzzes with salsa music and street vendors while stunning murals transform colonial walls into an outdoor gallery celebrating Afro-Caribbean heritage. Nearby, the iconic Clock Tower marks your entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage gem where local life and tourism strike a perfect balance. The dining scene offers authentic Caribbean flavors from fresh ceviche to grilled fish at budget comedores and trendy rooftops. Charming boutique hotels occupy restored colonial buildings with rooftop terraces and pools.

Bocagrande

Bocagrande's peninsula skyline dazzles with gleaming high-rises facing the golden Caribbean beaches. Spend sun-soaked days lounging on the sand or dive into water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. When you need a break from the waves, upscale malls like Centro Comercial Nao offer air-conditioned retail therapy with designer beachwear and emerald jewelry. Sophisticated hotel bars and seafood restaurants line the main avenues, serving fresh ceviche and international cuisine until midnight. Luxury hotels and resorts dominate the accommodation scene with pools, spas, and concierge services.

El Laguito

El Laguito's Caribbean paradise stretches along a scenic peninsula with beaches on both sides. Morning strolls along the palm-lined promenades let you soak up panoramic ocean views while the lagoon offers peaceful paddleboarding. Sunset cocktails taste better when paired with the pink and orange sky, especially from the high-rise hotel bars that line the waterfront. Hotels range from mid-range to ultra-luxury with pools and private beach access. Beachfront restaurants serve fresh ceviche and international cuisine, though prices run higher than in downtown Cartagena. The area is wonderfully walkable, with taxis readily available for the quick 15-minute trip to Old Town.

The neighborhood's stunning bay boardwalk lets you soak in Cartagena's shimmering waters while fancy yachts bob at Club Náutico marina. Elegant mansions with ornate balconies and colorful facades line tree-canopied streets, creating a refreshing contrast to the city's bustling tourist zones. Upscale restaurants serve fresh Caribbean seafood along the waterfront, perfect for sunset dining. Most travelers get around by taxi or on foot—the flat, shaded streets make exploring a breeze. Boutique hotels in converted historic mansions offer stylish stays with that perfect mix of luxury and local character.

Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theater where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.

During this time, visitors can enjoy historical monuments, charming cafés, vibrant live music, engaging museums, beautiful beaches, and scenic natural parks, all while sticking to a budget-friendly itinerary.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals to Cartagena, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don’t miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. If prices drop or rooms become available, you’re more likely to see these updates promptly, facilitating your last-minute booking.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay at a hotel in Cartagena. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value.

If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal possible.
