Architecture and colors. It is a very typical part of town. The hotel Santa Teresa is worth visiting
quiet peaceful place in the Walled Center of Cartagena, which is really the only pleasant place to stay. Nice rooms, breakfast with a home-feeling touch. can't think of a better place
This plaza was one of our favorites. BE sure to check out the bar/cigar store run by Oscar, a gracious host with unlimited amounts of energy and stories about Colombia.
This is another good, but not great place to check out. You will find mostly college students hanging out here with a few restaurants right there on the street or sidewalks.
this was right by our hotel so we walked by here often, it's a nice like spot, pretty quaint and we felt safe there. It's cute and there's some nice little shops nearby
This plaza often has local dancers dancing, and there are lots of other things to see. There are fat women in local costumes selling fresh fruit salads, and the fountains are beautiful.
although there are a lot of good restaurants allong the city, this was my favorite spot to dinner. You can find since a sandwich to a five star hotel plate.
A square, not much to see unless you go into one of the bars that has a balcony to the street. Stop, take a picture, look around and keep going.
I liked it. It seemed a more upper class of Cartagena resides around this area. The area is extra safe (as it is in the Wall and big hotels are in the area). At night we had dinner at steak restaurant (forgot its name) food was good but too expensive, but the atmosphere of San Diego square made it worthwhile, at least for us.
Lots to see in this area, cevicheria, the Santa Clara hotel, the university directly on the plaza. This area is a little less brash and touristy being out of the old town's core area.
