Cartagena De Indias : How do I travel?

How to go alone

A flight from France to Bogotá costs between 700 and 1,400 € depending on the season and the time of booking. To get good prices, it is essential to book several months in advance. Afterwards, you can reach Cartagena quickly by bus or by taking an internal flight. It is always a good idea to book your hotel rooms.

How to go on a tour

A popular destination for travelers, Cartagena is well known to tour operators and travel agencies. The colonial city can be explored with family and friends, on a solo vacation or as part of a honeymoon. The advantage of using these services is, of course, the economic argument, but also the comfort of letting specialists take care of the details to make the most of your trip. After all, there's a lot to do in Cartagena.

How to get around

It is relatively easy to travel in the centre of Cartagena, much on foot, the distances being reasonable. Otherwise, taxis and city buses criss-cross the city day and night. The Transcaribe, a bus system based on the Transmilenio model in Bogota, helps to relieve the distressing chaos of vehicles around the city centre. There are also playeras bicycle rental companies on every street corner in the historic centre and in Getsemaní. An ecological and pleasant way to discover the city.

Cartagena De Indias : Discover

Cartagena de Indias, so named to distinguish it from Spanish Cartagena, was built on the site of the native village of Calamarí. It has been called many things in its history, but none more fittingly than Cartagena de Indias! Today, Cartagena is a sprawling city of over a million inhabitants. It is the region's main administrative center and a major port on the Caribbean. But despite its busy, modern lifestyle, Cartagena still possesses the magical charms that have always characterized it. A major tourist attraction in Colombia, its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most dazzling examples of Hispanic colonial architecture. The city is painted in ochre, mirabelle and a range of pastels. Carved wooden entrances open onto sumptuous, elegant mansions or verdant patios.
