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.

Teave
Kiired faktid: The 11 kilometers of colonial stone walls took nearly 200 years to complete and still encircle the old city today. Over 2 million visitors walk these cobblestone streets each year, passing buildings painted in electric Caribbean colors.
Esiletõstmised: At sunset, locals gather on the 400-year-old stone ramparts near the Santo Domingo bastion to watch the sky melt into the Caribbean Sea. Street vendors set up right there selling fresh coconut rice and corozo juice, and the sound of salsa music drifts up from the plazas below.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.

Kas oled kuulnud tasuta jalutuskäikudest?
Pärast reisimist üle 30 riigi on üks asi, mida sooviksin, et keegi oleks mulle esimesest päevast peale öelnud, ja see muutis täielikult minu linnakogemust.
Tasuta jalutuskäigud. Jah, tõesti tasuta. Kaarti ei ole vaja. Püüniseid pole.
Kohalik giid, 2-3 tundi
Peamised vaatamisväärsused, peidetud pärlid, kohalikud lood
100% jootraha põhine
Giidid teenivad ainult jootraha, seega annavad nad parima
Sa annad jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Lõpus annad lihtsalt jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks
Olen neid teinud paljudes linnades ja need on olnud peaaegu iga reisi tipphetk. Kui külastad Cartagena, Colombia, tee seda esimesel päeval. Sa tänad mind hiljem.
