    Cartagena is one of the most visited cities in the Americas: tourists flock here to enjoy the Caribbean climate, historic Walled City and gorgeous nearby beaches.

    Ich komme aus Deutschland und war bereits zwei mal in Cartagena / Kolumbien. Dies ist nach meiner Meinung der beste Platz der Welt. Es sind vor allem die Menschen, die mit ihrer Gelassenheit und Freundlichkeit die Stadt präsentieren. Die Skyline am Strand bilden einen totalen Kontrast zur zauberhaften Altstadt im spanischen Stil. Ich habe mich sofort heimisch gefühlt. Alles ist umwerfend. Das Meer, die Temperaturen und natürlich nicht zu vergessen die Restaurants mit ihren unterschiedlichen Speiseangeboten. Würde ich mich trauen auszuwandern, dann hierher. Cartagena - der Platz zum leben und zu sterben. Ich liebe Cartagena ❤️

      you are a nut. Spanish is one of the worst languages of the world. If Colombia was an English speaking country or if they embraced it like most countries it would not be a 3 world country. I am from Mexican decent and I and all my family hate Spanish . Beyond stupid language

    What an amazing city!!! Built in the 1500s, Cartagena has tons of history and loads of glam. Btw, Cartagena's better beaches are about 20-30 minutes away from the city center. Baru and Rosario Islands (about 25 islands) have white sands and crystal clear/blue water.

    Thank you for this most informative video. I am investigating Columbia for place to visit every year during my retirement. I had considered Cartagena as the best spot because of the availability of the waterfront and the inexpensive flights from the US. But the quality of the water and the swim mobility was of paramount importance to me. I’m glad that you explained to me that the sand is this kind of stuff in the water is murky. that’s exactly what I experienced in Ecuador. So maybe I will consider different places in Columbia and maybe one or two day visit to her Cartia and then venturing out further to find that perfect beach life that I’m looking for

    Can you tell me when this was filmed; rainy season perhaps? Also, do individual beachfront hotels 'control' portions of the beach in front of their facilities in any fashion as they do in some other places in the Caribbean and how much should it cost in Columbian money to rent loungers and umbrellas on Boca Grande? Thanks.

    Am leaving Cartagena tomorrow and can’t wait. I’m not sure I try to s y low key but seems I’m a target everywhere me and my girlfriend go. The street vendors are totally out of control and very aggressive even after saying no thank you they will continue to follow and harass you to buy from them. My girlfriend is Dominican and speaks the language and I’m Italian not so white looking but obviously not Colombian. The street vendors aggressive behavior even at times threatening that I would have a problem for not paying the streets or that I should pay for protection, made the whole vacation not enjoyable. I’m not even exaggerating they I couldn’t walk 10 feet without having multiple street vendors in my face or following pressuring me to buy. The few times I did decide to buy and purchase something they totally tried to screw me over as much as trying to charge me 4x the regular amount. I wish I could have experienced the experiences that many ot he es have had of Cartagena. 😢 I’m sorry but definitely not a place for tourists to travel and feel safe and have a fun time in my opinion. Maybe it’s the time mid year I came? I’m here now in October the rainy season, maybe not so many tourists so they need to try and milk every last dollar they can until the next wave of tourists come? A lot of fake friendly people only looking for money! I know this is not the true Colombian culture so I’m very upset this has happened..
