Ciudad Amurallada
Bedste tid at besøge
Visit between December and April for dry, sunny weather. Arrive at 8:00 AM to explore the streets before the heat peaks and cruise ship crowds arrive around 10:00 AM.
Budgettips
Walking the streets and plazas is completely free, but the Palacio de la Inquisición museum charges about 25,000 COP (roughly $6 USD). Book a free walking tour (tips appreciated) for an affordable overview, and eat at lunch spots away from Plaza de los Coches where prices are 40% lower.

Om
Hurtige fakta: De 11 kilometer koloniale stenmure tog næsten 200 år at færdiggøre og omkranser stadig den gamle by i dag. Over 2 millioner besøgende går på disse brostensbelagte gader hvert år og passerer bygninger malet i elektriske caribiske farver.
Højdepunkter: Ved solnedgang samles de lokale på de 400 år gamle stenvolde nær Santo Domingo-bastionen for at se himlen smelte ind i det Caribiske Hav. Gadesælgere slår sig ned lige der og sælger frisk kokosris og corozosaft, og lyden af salsamusik stiger op fra pladserne nedenfor.
Insidertips
- Wear flat, closed-toe shoes: the 16th-century cobblestones get slippery after rain and wreck sandals.
- Climb the Torre del Reloj clock tower at golden hour for a rooftop view of both the old city and the skyscrapers of Bocagrande.
- Skip the overpriced horse-drawn carriages and explore on foot instead, you will see more and navigate the narrow alleys faster.
- Bring a refillable water bottle, there are free public hydration stations near Plaza San Diego and Plaza de la Aduana.
