About Cartagena

Cartagena an Kolumbiens Karibikküste: ummauerter Kolonialhafen mit blumengeschmückten Balkonen, bunten Plätzen und warmen Musikabenden.

Die ummauerte Altstadt, UNESCO-Welterbe, ist ein Labyrinth aus Kopfsteinpflastergassen und Plätzen, gesäumt von pastellfarbenen Häusern, Kirchen und Bougainvilleen. Das Uhrturmtor führt zur Plaza de los Coches, und die Kathedrale, die Kirche San Pedro Claver und der Palast der Inquisition liegen alle nur wenige Häuserblocks entfernt. Ein Spaziergang auf den dicken Stadtmauern bei Sonnenuntergang ist ein lokales Ritual.

Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
