Where to stay in Cartagena

Find the best Cartagena areas for the activities you enjoy most.

Cartagena Walled City

Step back in time within Cartagena's Walled City, where centuries-old Spanish colonial architecture meets vibrant Caribbean culture. Cobblestone streets wind past colourful facades adorned with cascading bougainvillea. The UNESCO World Heritage site buzzes with life as street musicians play traditional vallenato. Explore historic treasures like the Clock Tower, Inquisition Palace, and San Pedro Claver Church. By evening, the district transforms as plazas fill with dancers and diners. Horse-drawn carriages clip-clop through narrow lanes while rooftop terraces offer spectacular sunset views over the Caribbean Sea.

Getsemani

Getsemani brings Colombia's soul to life through colourful colonial streets where history meets vibrant modern culture. This UNESCO World Heritage district was once home to freed slaves and now buzzes with authentic energy. Street art adorns weathered walls while locals gather nightly at Plaza Trinidad. This evolving area balances traditional Caribbean life with trendy hotspots. Boutique hotels occupy restored colonial buildings with charming wooden balconies. Afro-Caribbean rhythms spill from doorways as both travellers and residents enjoy the lively atmosphere just steps from Cartagena's famous walled city.

Bocagrande

This modern peninsula stretches along Caribbean shores with a skyline of gleaming high-rises and luxury condos. Golden sands of Bocagrande Beach invite you to relax or try water sports. Shopping centers like Centro Comercial Nao offer air-conditioned relief from the tropical sun. Upscale restaurants serve fresh seafood and international cuisine along palm-lined boulevards. Wide pavements make exploring easy, with taxis readily available for longer trips. Though heavily touristic, this affluent area delivers the perfect combination of beach relaxation and urban convenience.

El Laguito

El Laguito wraps around a tranquil lagoon on a peninsula in Cartagena, offering beautiful Caribbean Sea views and pristine beaches. High-rise hotels line the shoreline, creating a resort-like atmosphere perfect for travellers seeking sun and relaxation. Scenic waterfront promenades invite evening strolls as the sunset paints the sky. The area buzzes with beachfront activities from morning jogs to water sports rentals. Hotel restaurants serve everything from fresh ceviche to international cuisine. While removed from Cartagena's colonial charm, El Laguito compensates with palm-lined walkways and modern comforts just 15 minutes from the historic centre.

Manga

Manga Peninsula offers a sophisticated retreat where Cartagena's bay waters lap against a scenic boardwalk. This upscale area balances peaceful tree-lined streets with prestigious waterfront attractions. Republican-style mansions with ornate balconies create an elegant residential haven just minutes from busier tourist areas. The prestigious Club Náutico yacht club anchors the waterfront scene with gleaming boats and upscale dining options. Stroll along the Manga Bay Boardwalk for panoramic views and cool evening breezes. The neighborhood's flat terrain makes exploring easy while its residential character ensures tranquil evenings.

"Staff was amazing. Rodolfo was super helpful and pleasant when checking in, Anderson was attentive when taking our belongings to the room and welcomed us every time we walked into the building. The rooftop pool is very very cramped. The location is honestly mid. It is in the middle of everything, which is nice, but if you’re not going straight to your car you’re bombarded by solicitors every few feet and they do know what no means and they do not listen. It is unfortunate because there are so many nice buildings and restaurants and places to go near by, but can’t get far without people bugging. The location is also a little far from the tourist attractions and airport. About 15-20minute uber drive to old town and the walled city."
