We're thinking about popping down to Cartagena in a month or so for five days. A really good deal that is hard to pass up. Anyone ever been? Advice?
Yeah it’s amazing. I will say it’s heavy on the nightlife so if that doesn’t appeal to you there may be fewer options for things to do. A few places I really loved:
Alquimico (best spot hands down)
El Arsenal
El Baron
La Cevicheria
Had a great nicer dinner at Carmen
Epoca espresso bar to start the day (there are 2-3 I think)
La Jugada is a lot of fun
Babar is like the peak nightclub spot but we didn’t end up going
We did a day long private boat charter that hopped around the Rosario Islands for the day that was a blast. There are shorter and/or group trips that are closer to the city depending on budget and time constraints. Stayed on the walled city which was perfect because it’s absolutely beautiful, most of the good bars and restaurants were there and it’s completely walkable. Definitely don’t miss exploring the Getsemani neighborhood though. Wish we spent a bit more time there. Oh yeah and I know you’re married but the women are absolutely insane there.
