Cartagena
Going Out
Rich Heritage and Exotic Locale
A fine example of Spanish colonial architecture in South America, Cartagena is one of the most beautiful cities in Colombia and one of the oldest in the New World. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Cartagena has all the ingredients for an extraordinary vacation: enclosed within stone fortifications, this colonial city offers cultural riches, modern and luxurious hotels, beautiful beaches, restaurants for all tastes, exciting excursions and a vibrant nightlife.
Music and dance occupy an important place in Colombian tradition. On the Caribbean coast, they are an integral part of daily life. In Cartagena, the mild temperature and magical surroundings beckon one and all to step out and enjoy the local nightlife. Come nightfall, some of the old city's sidewalks are suddenly transformed into terraces, where groups of musicians come to strike up a salsa or vallenato to the great delight of Colombians and visitors alike.
Many events and holidays dot Cartagena's cultural calendar, including the Hay Festival Cartagena, the Cartagena International Music Festival, the Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena and the Carnaval de Cartagena.
