Thinking of traveling to Cartagena Colombia, any recommendations on whether it’s best to stay at a hotel or Airbnb? And any recs for fun activities and things to do there?

Airbnbs are usually a lot cheaper but I highly recommend the Sofitel or Tcherassi if you go the hotel route. Anything within the walled city will do.

I really liked Townhouse Cartagena. Definitely get the included breakfast on the rooftop, freaking delicious.

Are you planning to stay near Old Town or the beach front? They are both nice. Personally I prefer old town. Tons of personality and lodging options. All very cute local hotels.

A friend recently traveled there, they are usually 100% on the airbnb route, which they did in this instance, and they ended up switching to a hotel while there, it cost basically the same, had breakfast, a balcony, and was just a better value in the end.

I recommend to stay in hotel rather than Airbnb in Colombia.
