The walled city, Getsemaní, Bocagrande and a chiva party: ideas to make the most of your nights in Cartagena de Indias.
The city changes when the sun goes down
Cartagena de Indias has a very special nightlife: the sea breeze cools things down and the streets of the Historic Center fill with music, lights and people strolling.
Night plan ideas
Walk the Walled City The Historic Center of Cartagena, together with its port and fortifications, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. At night, its squares and lit balconies are perfect for photos.
Getsemaní The Getsemaní neighborhood is known for its street art, its squares and its bohemian atmosphere. It's a great place to start the night.
Bocagrande An area of hotels and seafront buildings, with restaurants and a different view of the city.
