What you’ll do
Welcome to Cartagena 101: accompany your savvy host behind the fortress walls of the Old Town and its beaming yellow Clock Tower to start this adventure. Then be sure to pop to Portal de Los Dulces (Sweets Street) to stick your hand in the local cookie jar. Your host will guide you past pretty-as-a-postcard landmarks like the pink pastel Teatro Heredia and point out must-try restaurants serving Caribbean delicacies to try on the rest of your trip. Rub shoulders with locals at a nearby plaza, a canvas for the work of artist Fernando Botero, but dodge the crowds to the evolving and laid-back barrio Getsemani, grabbing the world's attention for its politically influenced street art, foot-stamping buskers and café's galore: not to fret, your host knows just the eatery to try.
