Go to the food stand in the torre de reloj at night that sells chicken kebabs. Absolutely incredible street food

Check out the Conrad. It’s outside the walled city but it’s brand new and beautiful. Rent a boat to hit up some islands, book a cooking class and a rum tasting. Go to La Vitrola for dinner. It’ll require a reservation but it’s one of the best restaurants there.

Also I would look at Airbnb’s in the walled city. That’s where I stayed and there’s plenty of cheap options

The walled city is great-I stayed outside though and still had a great time.

The Hilton is a bit dated but cheap and clean with big pools. It is only a $3 cab ride into the city.

I’d recommend staying somewhere with a pool as you’ll want to be able to cool down.

Lots of great restaurant recs on a previous post (Maria was a stand out) and I was able to make reservations using the Colombian open table.

I would also recommend doing a walking tour your first day to get the lay of the land.

Thank you!!

I’d love to do a trip to Cartagena. Is the city overall safe to visit - say compared to a European city?

4 nights is a long time in Cartagena - the walled city is super small. I’d definitely spend a night or two on the islands.

Yup we were planning on maybe doing an overnight catamaran! Any islands you recommend?
