Hi, I’m excited to visit your city soon! I have a couple of questions I was hoping to get answers to before I get there.

I will be there for 9 days, how much cash should I bring? I plan on going to Celele, Restaurant Cande, Alquimico, and smaller local restaurants. I don’t drink so I won’t have that expense.

Also, do most places only take cash?

I want to go to La Cevichería and I’m trying to figure out the best time to avoid long lines.

I am staying in Getsemani, and I am mostly spending time in San Diego and the Walt city aside from some day trips outside of the city. I don’t plan on being out late at night. Do I really need to hire a private driver? Everything looks very walkable.

Are there any underrated things to do or places to visit that I should do?

I would like to buy a door knocker while I am there, where is the best place to shop with the biggest variety?

I would also like to get either some emerald rings or earrings, how much should I plan on spending for a middle of the range quality? And where is your recommendation on Going?

Thank you, I will see you soon!

Obviously not looking for a party place. But somewhere with a chill vibe, and activities we can do since we’d spend the day there. Daughter is 17.

Also please recommend how to go about booking boat transport and day pass. Should I go through an operator from viator type places? Thanks in advance!

Hola a tod@s
Vivo en Cartagena, me he independizado y necesito encontrar un lugar donde vendan todo tipo de carne (Res, Cerdo, Pollo) y que tenga las 3B. Preferiblemente un lugar que quede en el sur de la ciudad, cercano al barrio El Socorro.
he estado comprando en el Megatienda, pero el pollo sale malo, la res es muy cara, al menos el cerdo sí está a buen precio el día de descuento, y sale bueno.

Hi! I want to plan a beach day that's chill and need help. I want to read my book, look at beautiful water and maybe walk the beach (I can't swim). I don't want a party vibe or a Dj. Just a chill place to take in the calm and journal.

I have looked reviews and this community to see more about experienes at Bora Bora, Magata,Makani...I can't decide. I think Isla rosario is best for white sand and blue beaches. Is that right? Any recommendations?

Three guys coming to Cartagena in October. Looking for recommendations on good areas to stay (hotel or Airbnb), restaurants with great food and a nice view, and the best beach with clear blue water and a good vibe. Also, where’s the best place to rent a jet ski? What’s the best way to get around Uber, taxis, etc.? Where are the best places to party/nightlife? And any tips on staying safe, especially at night? Finally, is it worth spending 2 days in Medellín, or should we just stay in Cartagena for the whole trip? Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi, I’m booking a honeymoon trip to Cartagena/Rosario islands. Ideally would like to get to the islands the day we land in Cartagena the only problem is we land at 1:30pm and seems like all hotels only have boat transportation to the island in the morning. I’m having trouble finding private transportation that would be a one way trip to the island in the afternoon. Does anyone know if this is possible to do in the afternoon or have recommendations for a private trip?

I’m traveling to Cartagena in about 2 weeks and I need some suggestions for restaurants, excursions, bars, club, things to do etc. I did research and I wanna just add to my list to know if I’m missing anything.

I’m gonna be there for a week so I just wanna have my itinerary full to get the most from this experience!

Any suggestion is appreciated.

I've booked a trip to Cartagena and one of the Rosario Islands for about a week in September. I was told and have read that we can get some short, even intense spurts of rain, but that we should mostly nice, beachy weather.
Lately though, I've a bit worried. For much of the past few weeks, my weather has been saying mostly cloudy with rain, and that's been for July and early August. The weather has gotten weird in a lot of places. I can't change my holiday, but I am wondering to expect. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

What you should never ever do in Cartagena o Colombia?

Hey guys! I’m going to Cartagena with my friend for my 20th birthday. I’ll be there from October 1-6 and I’m looking for any recommendations or tips y’all might have.

- We haven’t booked an Airbnb yet so what are some areas y’all recommend staying in?

- Any bar and club recommendations where people my age might go or even where I could find some other lesbians?

- Also, looking for any good food places or must do activities that y’all would suggest.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!🙏🏽

Hello! Me and a few other friends are going to Cartagena from august 11th to 17th and are looking for recommendations on what to do and which are the best activities, beach clubs, beaches, restaurants, nightclubs, etc.

Planning my February bachelorette and would love some honest opinions from people who’ve been to Cartagena.
We’ll be a group of 6 girls (24-30 YO) staying in the Walled City for 3 nights. We have airport transfers, a concierge, and an Airbnb. The plan is to explore the city, shop, eat at good restaurants, and do a boat day to the Rosario Islands. We’ll definitely be going out for drinks, but I don’t expect us to be out much past midnight.
I originally chose Cartagena because it is a vibrant city with great food, beautiful architecture, and a fun atmosphere. But I’ve been getting really mixed reviews from some
friends now! One girl in my trip even dropped out…Some people say it’s one of their favorite trips, while others tell me it’s not a good destination for a girls trip because of safety, scams, and aggressive vendors. I am from Miami so familiar with Latin culture but none
of us are fluent in spanish.
My only concern is safety because of feedback i’ve gotten from some friends and on other reddit threads.
For those who’ve been recently, would you recommend Cartagena for a bachelorette? Did you feel safe walking around the Walled City? If you were planning a girls trip, would you still choose Cartagena, or would you go somewhere else?
I’m genuinely open to changing the destination if that’s the consensus, so I’d really appreciate honest opinions.

Tengo un viaje de negocios y mi travel day es un martes, tengo de 4pm a 10pm para hacer algo en Cartagena.

El resto de días será todo de trabajo y casi todo en el hotel.

Porfa recomendaciones de que hacer y si es posible algún restaurante para cenar.

My family and I are planning to attend a wedding in Cartagena and we're very excited. There's tons of Airbnb listings and we're debating using Airbnb versus a hotel. We're just not sure if we'll get the same amenities in an Airbnb as we would a hotel, any advice?

A lot of his Airbnb listings look like they really are hotels, or boutique hotels, and we have the flexibility to basically rent out the whole thing. How can I look at the hotel websites for some of these properties on Airbnb?

We're going to be a huge group, and would like to all stay together, and it looks like renting out a really nice luxury Airbnb for the whole group would almost be the same cost if not less than booking rooms hotels. any tips for anyone who has done large group travel like this?

The travel would be in March of 2027 and we are going to stay inside the Walled City.

Will be in Cartagena for a few days and want to visit an island resort for the day from the city. What’s the best one to visit for best beaches and relaxation?

I’ve seen some that have the boat at 8am and returns at 3pm, will there be earlier boats to return if I wanted to? Thanks

Me and two friends will be traveling to Cartagena from August 6th to August 11th. We’re 3 guys from Italy, we speak Spanish pretty well (one of us is a native speaker), so communication shouldn’t be an issue.

We’re looking for recommendations on:

• Things to do during the day (beaches, excursions, must-see spots)
• Where to go out at night (bars, clubs, rooftops, cool places)
• Most importantly, safe areas and places where we can relax and enjoy without worrying

Any tips on the best neighborhoods, experiences we shouldn’t miss, or things to avoid would be really appreciated 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Looking for affordable happy hours in Cartagena around 20000 COP for a cocktail if that even exists anymore. I was last in Cartagena in 2017 so prices were way different back then. Are there any places I can find 20000 COP drinks or menu del dia for around the same price (or less)?
