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.

"I like the resort. The staff at the restaurant, especially one waitress, Jhorce, in the Cafe was super amazing taking care of us with constant smile, excellent manner and over-the-top service. We were honestly pampered. The food was great with light salt unlike food in the States. I only have a couple concerns with the resort where in early September the place was too hot. AC was only available in our room and one restaurant, Portofino. The restrooms could have been refreshed a bit. Aside from those two things, it is worth visiting."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Cartagena

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Cartagena is between September and November, when hotel prices are lower. For a truly enriching experience, it's advisable to stay for at least 3 to 4 days to thoroughly explore the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural attractions. During your stay, you can enjoy historical monuments, charming cafés, lively music and dance performances, enlightening museums, beautiful beaches, and engaging tours through natural parks. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Cartagena while being on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Cartagena, consider visiting the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you won't miss any savings opportunities. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best options. With these tools, you could be among the first to know about price drops or room availability for your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Cartagena hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more economical, helping you secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation near key attractions or city centres can offer convenience, but this often comes at a higher price. For those seeking more affordable options, it may be worthwhile to consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, allowing you to balance cost with accessibility to the sights you wish to explore. Independent hotels a bit further afield are usually likely to be more affordable and may provide a more authentic experience.
