The Walled City is beautiful, but it's also busy and expensive. Be mindful that you'll be harassed all the time.
5/5 - Excellent

Walled City has historic charm for sure. El Centro noisy and very touristy. Liked walking in nearby San Diego and Getsamani neighborhoods.
4/5 - Good

Great weather, amazing people, horrible traffic, and amazing views! Cartagena is a lovely city and the architecture transports you to a different era. You can find anything from relaxing places to fun night life. Lots of tours available

It was my second time and my wife's first time to visit. Love the city, love the people. Old town was a great place to visit and we felt completely safe walking around even at night.
