Stay inside the walled city and you are able to walk everywhere! We so enjoyed being able to walk out of our apartment every morning and hit the ground running with whatever we wanted to do because the walled city in so walkable we could get to one side to another within 15 minutes. It was perfect!

What is your best overall travel tip for Cartagena?

Don Juan was by far the best meal we had, though it's hard to find a bad meal in Cartagena. And be sure to dive into the rich history of the city, especially by visiting the fortress early on the trip to set the stage for understanding the city.
