Museum in Cartagena

+ Add a Photo

By Brenda Yun

Cartagena is truly a Caribbean paradise with a long history complete with pirates, rum, legend, and lore. The best way to experience this city is to walk. Visit the churches, plazas, and museums to get a taste of its history. Walk on Las Murallas, the city’s famed wall, to bask in the tropical sun and enjoy the sea breezes. Take photographs of the colorful colonial buildings. Drink fresh squeezed fruit juice from a stall on a narrow street in El Centro. When your feet get tired, take a spin on a romantic horse-drawn carriage. It is difficult not to fall in love with magical Cartagena.
