Overview
Cartagena's Walled City is a UNESCO-listed 16th-century Spanish colonial old town encircled by 11km of stone ramparts. Brightly painted colonial houses, flower-draped balconies, and elegant plazas and churches create an unmistakably Caribbean romance. Walking the walls at sunset is a Cartagena rite of passage, and after dark the squares come alive with live music and salsa dancing.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours.
Travel Tips
Time your visit for sunset along the ramparts - the views are stunning. A horse-drawn carriage tour is an easy way to explore the old town.
