The definitive guide to your next trip to Cartagena

In another chapter of #AheadRecommends, whether you have half a day or a whole weekend, we tell you what to do in this wonderful city.

Exploring inside the Walled City is your best bet. In the historic center you can admire the colonial architecture, stroll the cobblestone streets and finish with a good rest in one of its squares.
