For the first week of my time in Colombia I wanted to dive into the history and see the main sights in the colonial town of Cartagena, therefore I put together a list of the best things to do in Cartagena and went out to explore. Beyond the popular sights and touristic spots I found some great restaurants, went to a few picturesque Carribbean islands and discovered a beach town which is still fairly unknow by like minded people who are backpacking in Colombia.
From the historic city center to recommendable food places this video is meant to also help you find your way around and plan your stay in the area of Cartagena. All my tips can also be found on my website, this includes sights as well as restaurants and hotels in Cartagena.
In the next episode we are going to explore the various sights in and around the city of Medellin and take a look at the violent past of the country as well as at the transformation of it.
Things to do in Cartagena (Cololmbia) as shown in this episode:
Centro Historico / Old Town & Free Tour
Old City Wall / Walled City
Getsemani neighborhood
Volcano El Totumo
Castillo San Felipe de Barajas / Fortress of San Felipe
Paraiso Secreto on Isla Grande, Islas de Rosario
Rincon del Mar
Isla Mucura, Isla Tintipan, Islote at Islas de San Bernardo
— About Exploring Colombia —
Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

Explore Cartagena Colombia. We're in love ????
We spend the day exploring the beautiful city of Cartagena and have come up with a list of things for you to do!
Cartagena is on the Caribbean coast of Colombia and therefore has lots of amazing beaches but also tonnes of culture. We start the day at the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas exploring the old fortress (castle) with it’s amazing views and old tunnels.
We then make our way into the up and coming and gentrifying area of Getsemani. It’s a vibrant area full of street art, many restaurants and squares that come alive at night. While here we explore the streets and also grab a bite to eat while having a Colombian beer.
Later we head to the old walled city of Cartagena to see what it has to offer. We buy some bracelets and then discover some music and dancers performing in a square. We also grab a Colombian coffee at the the coolest little coffee shop/book store in Cartagena called Abaco Libros Y Cafe.
Lastly we try to find the best views over the city to watch the sunset. Unfortunately the rooftop at the Movich is closed for a private event so we end up across the street at the Sofia Hotel.

Cartagena, Colombia is the sum of its incredible parts; its colonial, republican and modern architecture, the temptation of its vibrant nightlife, its cultural festivals, exuberant landscapes, magnificent beaches, outstanding gastronomic offerings and its important hotel and tourism infrastructure. It is a fantastic city that guards the secrets of its history in its walls and balconies, its buildings and its narrow, cobbled streets.
Framed by its beautiful bay, Cartagena de Indias is one of the best preserved and most enchanting cities in the Americas.
Cartagena de Indias, one of the most popular destinations on the rise in the world according to TripAdvisor
Cartagena began as a small fishing town that was colonised by Spanish, British, and French. One of the original towns sharing a rich history of pirates, independence, and worldwide importance in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Cartagena has become one of the greatest tourist attractions in South America. Cartagena is full of beautiful beaches and natural places all around. The city is famous for its many historical sites, and incredible architecture. Cartagena gathers the best of a calm Caribbean town, with an artsy scene, and many things to do.
Castillo San Felipe De Barajas (San Felipe Castle), Cartagena:
The Castillo San Felipe de Barajas is a fortress in the city of Cartagena, Colombia. The castle is located on the Hill of San Lázaro in a strategic location, dominating approaches to the city by land or sea. It was built by the Spanish during the colonial era. Construction began in the year 1536, and it was originally known as the Castillo de San Lázaro, It was expanded in 1657.
Wander through the tunnels of the San Felipe de Barajas Castle to discover the interior of the “guardian of Cartagena.” The Spaniards sought to fend off British attacks, and in 1657 they finished building this fortress on the hill of San Lazaro, thus taking control of the only access point to the city from the mainland. Great pictures of the bay can be taken from the castle.
Getsemani, Cartagena:
Getsemaní, the outer walled town, is less obviously impressive than Cartagena's old city but has some charming parts and is well worth exploring. In recent years it has been the focus of Cartagena's exploding gentrification and growing hotel industry, and boasts excellent bars, restaurants and cafes, as well as some superb street art on its derelict buildings.
The plaza in front of the Iglesia de la Santísima Trinidad is a massive draw for locals and travelers alike come sundown, when street food vendors set up their stalls and a crowd of revelers sticks around until well after midnight.
Old Town, Cartagena:
Without doubt, Cartagena's old city is its principal attraction, particularly the inner walled town, consisting of the historical districts of El Centro and San Diego. It is a real gem of colonial architecture, packed with churches, monasteries, plazas, palaces and mansions with their famous overhanging balconies and shady patios.
The best approach to experiencing the Old Town is to wander leisurely, savoring the architectural details, street life and local snacks along the way.
