Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theatre where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.

Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in a Cartagena hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
