About Cartagena

Cartagena's walled old town is one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas — colorful buildings, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and plazas that come alive at night. But it's also one of Colombia's most touristy cities, where prices are triple what locals pay. The real Cartagena is in Getsemaní's street art and local bars, Bazurto market's chaotic energy, and the beaches on the Rosario Islands that aren't packed with day-trippers. A Local Friend in Cartagena knows where the locals actually eat, dance, and spend their weekends — not where the cruise ship passengers go.
