Sightseeing
The most popular places to stay are on Playa Blanca, a beach to the north of Isla Barú, which is conveniently close to the mainland so very easy to get to via sea or road. Generally, things are quieter in the middle of Playa Blanca – you don’t want to be too close to the day-trip boats to the South in the day, nor too close to the bars towards the North during the night. The beach is clean all the way down, though you can expect a little debris if there is a storm the night before.

Food scene
Yes, the Walled City is expensive. However, if you’re able to splash out, it’s probably worth it for a few days. With its perfectly preserved colonial architecture, blooming flowers hanging from bright pink balconies, and fairy-lit stone archways, this is, without doubt, the most beautiful neighbourhood in Cartagena. You can expect any boutique hotel you book here to be housed in a 200-year-old mansion and luxuriously decorated with crystal chandeliers, exposed brick walls and four-poster beds. So, if you want to live the Cartagena luxury lifestyle (at a fraction of the price you’d pay in Europe), then the Walled City is where you want to be.
