Cartagena Old Town - Walking Tour
Connected by a series of bridges, Cartagena is divided by 17th-century walls into an 'historic old city' and a cosmopolitan 'modern city.' Acclaimed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old City is the birthplace of Cartagena and is famous for its cobblestone lanes, leafy plazas, and well-tended Spanish colonial buildings draped with bougainvillea. Its beauty is enhanced by old church domes, the clock tower (a symbol of the city) and the city ocean views. A guided walk includes Plaza de Bolivar, Plaza San Pedro, the city's cathedral and other points of interest.
What you will see along the way:
As you cruise through the sparkling waters of Cartagena Bay, you'll enjoy the stunning skyline and colonial city views from the deck of the comfortable Sibarita Master boat.
Once on shore, explore the old city and such highlights as Plaza de Bolivar, Plaza San Pedro, the city's cathedral and the main points of interest in the walled city.
