Creator's Key Takeaways

greetings fellow Travelers and cruisers welcome to the channel T5 The Traveler here with Becky the Trey on location and we are in cart tahia Columbia

it was 10 bucks to get up here to this bridge to go to The Old City it was $10 for both of us

the Old Fort is right over there in the distance you can see it uh they've got the boats out there so you can do a boat tour if you want

you really just got to watch the traffic if you're looking for good shopping or food just push a little bit further in

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a cab from the cruise port to the Old Walled City to avoid traffic and high-pressure sales
Bring small bills in ones for photos, rap battlers, and small purchases
Push further into the interior streets for better shopping deals
Wear good shoes and light clothing for walking in the heat
Avoid buying water from street coolers; buy from shops instead

YouTube Video Description

Greetings fellow travelers join us for a Tour of the Walled City of Old Cartagena, Colombia. Cartagena has become one of South America’s most vibrant cities – and the undoubted queen of Colombia’s northern coast. Offering old-world luxury, exquisite fine-dining options, and a hip nightlife, Cartagena’s old town is fast becoming a must-see for any traveler. From photo etiquette to dodging tourist traps, here’s everything you need to know. The best time to visit Cartagena is during the dry season, from December to March, when you can fully enjoy the city’s historic charm, culinary delights, and vibrant nightlife without the interruption of heavy rainfall. The city has its perfectly preserved colonial architecture, blooming flowers hanging from bright pink balconies, and fairy-lit stone archways, this is, without doubt, the most beautiful neighborhood in Cartagena. You can expect any boutique hotel you book here to be housed in a 200-year-old mansion and luxuriously decorated with crystal chandeliers, exposed brick walls and four-poster beds. So, if you want to live the Cartagena luxury lifestyle (at a fraction of the price you’d pay in Europe), then the Walled City is where you want to be. thanks for watching and if you enjoyed this video leave us a like and a comment and as always we will see all our loyal subscribers and fellow travelers soon on the next tour. #cartagena #citytour
