Explore the Palace of Inquisition museum or climb the Clock Tower for breathtaking Caribbean views. Dining options range from upscale courtyard restaurants to affordable street food carts selling tropical fruits.

El Laguito

El Laguito's Caribbean paradise stretches along a scenic peninsula with beaches on both sides.

Hotels range from mid-range to ultra-luxury with pools and private beach access.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect little hotel right in the heart of the old town. Carlos at the reception helped us with everything and made our stay special. We were lucky enough to get the room right at top of the hotel, because it’s a small hotel with few guests it was like we had our own private roof top pool. Carlos checked us out, stored our bags and let use the pool etc on the final day, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast is served either to your room, rooftop or restaurant. All in all the perfect place to stay....

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.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Cartagena, consider visiting the Dealsopens in 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.
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.
