Cartagena is a picturesque port city located on the northern coast of Colombia’s Caribbean Coast Region. The tropical climate, sun-soaked beaches and preserved history make it a popular tourist destination. The historic old town is the city’s most sought-after attraction, adorned with cobblestone streets, stone walls and colonial-era architecture. Visitors can take a step back in time and see massive churches, museums and palaces, as well as Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, one of the oldest sites in Colombia. Outside of quiet old town, the bustling city features trendy cafes, upscale restaurants and some of the best beaches in Colombia.
