Things to Do and See in Cartagena, Colombia, Part 2

In this blog I will continue presenting the best tourist attractions in Cartagena. Only a day will not be enough to see all of them. That’s why, I offer you to stay in some of the Cartagena hotels. In this way you guarantee your memorable experience there.

1.     La Popa Convent

Alternately called a convent and a monastery, this colonial complex is a great palce to visit for a look at colonial religious life, superb views of the city, the Caribbean and nearby islands.

2.     Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca,definitely is the best beach close to Cartagena - you can reach it overland or by boat.With its white sand & crystal water Playa Blanca is probably one of the best “playas” in Colombia! It is definitly worth to stay there for some days. There are several places where you can rent hammocks, get food & drinks.

3.     Las Bovedas

Shop and enjoy art in what once were jail cells or storerooms for the fortresses.

4.     Nightlife

Plenty of choices in Bocagrande, in the center of town, El Centro, and Getsemani for tabernas, discos and bars. Use caution in Getsamani, but all the nightlife is lively, with Caribbean and Colombian music. Take a nap before you go nightclubbing.

To sum up, I would say that there is much more that can be seen in Cartagena. If you still hesitate where to spend your holiday, Cartagena is the perfect destination for you, because it is not famous only for its beaches, there everyone can find something for themselves and will remember the time spent in Cartagena forever.
