Great place to visit for street food, street performers and best place to find all of the gems of Colombia like candy and treats.
Monumento Torre del Reloj
Getsemani was so beautiful! All the murals and the vibrant colors were so pretty! They have little shops and food carts while you walk around. We went during the day but were told at night it comes alive. So many amazing photo ops.
Barrio Getsemaní - Cartagena's Most Fascinating Neighborhood
The view from here is breathtaking! I didn't do the church tour, I just went for the view since it was part of a tour. I loved it! I will say that there are vendors there selling food, drinks and crafts. They can be a little pushy.
Convent of Santa Cruz de la Popa
I love shopping so I had to stop at their mall. They had so many stores! My son and I bought a perfume and cologne that we absolutely love. I also bought some makeup and souvenirs. Stay for the sunset! The sunset over the water is beautiful!
Bocagrande Plaza Mall
If you have the chance to do the Palenque tour, definitely do it! My son got sick the day we had planned to go and tried to rebook but all tours were sold out. It's rich in culture and history! Definitely a must!

I absolutely love Viator. I booked excursions and transportation through them for both my Colombia and Italy trip. Some are cheaper and you can book now and pay a few days before your trip. Definitely recommend!
