About Cartagena
The city of Cartagena de Indias, the fifth largest in Colombia, feels like it belongs to a different era. Once an important port on the silver and gold trade route, Cartagena was extremely wealthy and well fortified, and has the architecture to show for it.

The city undoubtedly has a fairytale quality to it, boasting an atmospheric, walled old town of cobbled streets, and the best places to stay in Cartagena offer visitors a fantastic glimpse into this historic Spanish settlement. For example in the old middle class district of San Diego you'll find many of Cartagena's most beautiful colonial townhouses, many of which have been converted into excellent hotels or B&Bs.These charming boutiques may not always have a lot of guest rooms, but the delight of staying in this area is well worth your seeking them out.

If you have kids in tow, and for a different experience, visit Oceanario with marine life, including turtles and sharks, on show in the beautiful waters - it's a great excursion for visitors of all ages.
