City Tour

To visit the city and fully enjoy it, the tourist and travel agencies have devised original ways for the tourist to go through the streets of Cartagena.

The Chiva, A traditional wooden bus, is one of the most amusing since it carries inside a popular musical group called "papayera" and goes through the city and up the monastery of La Popa, stopping at a typical cartagenera food place and even a discotheque.

 
City Tour

To go through Bocagrande and El Laguito there are two pleasant options: a train that departs every day from a corner known as "El Bimbo" and an original firetruck which also operates at night.
 

To leave Cartagena without having taken a tour on a carriage pulled by horses is like not visiting the city, these are found at the Park Flanagan, across from the Hotel Caribe.

A guided city tour may be taken and includes the following places:

La Popa center, Panoramic view of the city and visit to the interior of the cloister.
Monument to the Old Shoes, a beautiful allegory to Cartagena.
San Felipe de Barajas Fortress, an extraordinary work of military engineering
India Catalina, conquest, beauty and history.
The Bovedas, pride, history and craftsmanship of the walled city, Cathedral, Plaza de Bolívar, Gold Museum and Walls.

Tour Duration : 3 and a half hours
Note: On the City Tour on Saturdays and Sundays, the House of the Inquisition is visited instead of the Gold Museum.
