Package holiday to Cartagena de Indias

Cartagena de Indias is South America's most romantic city and a UNESCO World Heritage site that enchants every visitor with its colonial architecture, colorful house facades, and Caribbean joie de vivre. The fortified old town, surrounded by powerful walls from the 16th century, is an open-air museum of colonial splendor by the Caribbean Sea.

The old town (Ciudad Amurallada) is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets lined with houses in all the colors of the rainbow. Each building seems more beautiful than the last: blooming bougainvilleas spill from wrought-iron balconies, carved wooden doors open to cool courtyards with fountains, and in the evenings, fairy lights and street musicians transform the alleys into a magical setting.

Getsemaní, the former artisan district, has transformed from a rough barrio to the coolest neighborhood in Cartagena. Street art, rooftop bars, live salsa music, and creative restaurants make it a hotspot for travelers seeking a more authentic Cartagena. The Plaza de la Trinidad is the meeting point in the evenings — here, locals and tourists dance salsa together under the stars.

The Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas, the largest Spanish fortress in the New World, overlooks the city and tells tales of pirate attacks, treasure fleets, and colonial power politics. The fortress walls themselves are ideal for sunset walks — the view over the skyline of the old town and the open Caribbean Sea is spectacular.

The Rosario Islands, just an hour by boat away, offer Caribbean dream beaches with crystal-clear water, coral reefs, and a relaxed island vibe that is perfect for unwinding after exploring the city.

Cartagena de Indias particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine, first-class relaxation options, vibrant nightlife. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
