We stayed only a taxi ride away from the walled city of Cartagena. We drove around the walls which were in very good condition and through the gates into the city.

The walled city is amazing- I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The history, architecture, and colors make for an incredible and memorable visit. Don't forget to take a tour in a horse-drawn carriage!

We loved the colonial architecture in this part of the city. It is not to be missed. Plus, this is where the majority of shops and restaurants are located if you want to walk around.

I believe this place is one of the sites that everyone will stop by. Lots vendors, and etc. Day time and night time have two different kind of view and feelings. Should check it out for sure.

I was on Walled City and it was a really nice experience, walking around and over the walls was a fantastic experecience, like stay at Pirates of Caribbean Sea movie!!! I suggest walk around by your self, sing a song with the Vallenato's band in the street and enjoy the sunset, really nice experience.....

Great to walk or bike ride early in the morning. An amazing structure that has had us wondering about the history including Francis Drake.
