Founded in 1533, Cartagena grew into one of Spain's most important Caribbean ports and was fortified with thick stone walls and great forts against pirate attacks. Its old walled city and the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today the colonial lanes, bright balconies and nearby islands make it Colombia's favourite coastal escape.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
