Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Plaza Fernandez Madrid, Carrera 7 In front of the Iglesia Santo Toribio, Cartagena 130002 Colombia
One of the most famous plazas in the center of the historic city. You will have a chance to learn the history and walk around.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Plaza Bolivar, Cartagena Colombia
Plaza Bolivar, with its shady square and rows of benches, is a perfect place to while away a few hours, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Old Town. The most stirring of these sights is provided by local dancers, who regularly perform for tips in the square, usually dancing to traditional Colombian coastal music, played by live bands.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Bairro Getsemani, Cartagena Colombia
Explore the graffiti of Getsemani
The neighbourhood of Getsemani is outside the inner walled town but is still part of the Old Town of Cartagena. Its faded colonial beauty stands in stark contrast to the glitz and glamour of the Walled City, but it has a lovely bohemian charm of its very own. It’s particularly known for its excellent street art, and one of the best things to do in the Old Town is to wander the streets of Getsemani and take in the beautiful murals and street art.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Plaza de La Trinidad, Cartagena Colombia
The central square of Getsemani is a hive of activity every single night of the week, as locals and travellers alike descend upon the cobbled plaza to drink, eat, dance, and generally be merry. The atmosphere is typical of Getsemani: laid-back, bohemian, and much more loose and fun than the stuffier walled city. Plaza Trinidad is easily the coolest place to enjoy a cold beer in the evening in the Old Town of Cartagena.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Plaza Santo Domingo, Calle 35, Cartagena 130010 Colombia
Touch Botero’s Gertrudis for luck
It’s said that touching the (ample) left breast of Fernando Botero’s famous ‘Fat Gertrude’ statue, located in the heart of Old Town Cartagena, will grant you good luck, so make sure to try it out when you pass by. You can also pose for a fun photo with the famous fruit sellers (or palenqueras) who sit on the same square.
