Description
Hop-On Hop-Off Cartagena
Three hundred years ago, Cartagena was the main port for the Spanish colonies in Central and South America. The treasures of the Americas flowed through here en route to Europe, and the unique old town was built with the profits accrued from this transatlantic trade.
So, where to start? Hop off at the Torre del Reloj, which stands over the main gate to the walled old town. Pass through its ancient arches and wander around the colonial streets of the city’s near-five-century-old historic center.
Another great place to hop off is the Casa Museo Rafael Núñez, named after the 19th-century president of Colombia and poet who lived in the beautiful colonial mansion that today houses the museum.
Replace colonial architecture with towering skyscrapers as you head to modern Bocagrande on our top deck. This neighborhood is home to the Centro Comercial Plaza Bocagrande, so if you're in the mood for a spot of shopping, then this is the perfect destination for you.
Castillo San Felipe de Barajas
Wherever you choose to hop off, don’t miss one of the world’s grandest colonial forts: Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. Many have tried and failed to storm this impenetrable edifice. Even the likes of Francis Drake, who tried to take the city under the orders of Queen Elizabeth I.
Your City Sightseeing combination ticket includes admission to the castle, so you’ll get to tread where Drake never could! Plus, with your audio guide, you'll learn all about the history of this iconic monument, which took over a century to construct.
Sunset Catamaran Cruise
Now, what would a visit to the Caribbean coast be without a cruise? And our catamaran cruise is one of the best. Sail through the bay of Cartagena with spectacular views of the sun going down. Don’t forget to look back towards the city to admire Cartagena’s wonderful old city illuminated in the distance.
Two guided walking tours
Now, you’ve seen Cartagena from our top deck and from the water. How about hitting the streets with one of our expert guided tours
Take a guided tour inside Cartagena’s colourful walled city. As you admire its plazas, palaces and patios, you’ll learn all about the fascinating history of South America’s Caribbean jewel. You can also join our walking tour of Getsemani Cartagena’s bohemian and lively outer walled town.
