๐ด๐ where to munch + sip in Cartagena ๐ดโ๏ธ
La Cevicherea
Carmen - a hidden gem in a town with so many delicious options. Inventive + fresh dishes in a charming hotel courtyard - what more could you want?
La Cevicheria - the most talked about Ceviche in all of town... In my opinion go for the Lobster and snap ๐ธ
La Cocina de Pepina - hard to find but well-worth the effort lunch or dinner spot in Getsemani. This traditional Cocina serves some of the delectable food in Cartagena ๐
La Perla - delicious Italian x Mediterranean cuisine that also happens to have the perfect sangria ๐น
Restaurante 1621 - a "special"meal in the beautiful courtyard of a renovated convent now known as the Sofitel
Donde Fidel - get your salsa on at this classic Cartagena dance destination๐๐ผ
La Paleteria - mouth-watering popsicles ๐ก
El Baron - perfectly situated cafe and cocktail bar on the beautiful Plaza de la Aduana
La Movida - if youโre in the mood to dance the night away...
Demente - cocktail and tapas bar in the Getsemani ๐น
top 5
Enjoy the traditional dances at Plaza Bolivar nightly around 7pm
Rent a boat and head to the Rosario islands - don't forget to ask your captain to take you to Chalon for lunch where you can eat octopus and lobster served fresh to your in-water table!
Playa Blanca - ๐If you need more playa-time, negotiate with a taxi driver to take you to Playa Blanca for a swim and delicious lunch at one of the local seafood spots
Stroll through NH Gallery for a nice (quick) culture fix ๐จ
Stroll the old city wall at sunset
La Passion
where to stay in Cartagena
Ananda Hotel - perfect in so many ways, this charming boutique hotel has stunning rooftop ๐ and multiple pools, excellent service, bikes to cruise around town ๐ฒ and the BEST restaurant in town (Carmen!)
