Cartagena is one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in Columbia. The area is rich in neo-colonial architecture, some of which can be classed as the finest in South America. This popular tourist spot has consistently good weather throughout the year so that you can sit on a beach and unwind. We would recommend heading away from the main resorts to the more quiet beach areas such as Playa Blanca. Rich in cultural attractions, this walled city, has some of the best museums to explore as you stay at an Airbnb vacation rental. Cartagena caters to all travellers, from backpackers to luxury seekers, with myriads of things to do. An incredible way to experience this city’s culture is to stay in a boutique hotel that offers an insight into the fascinating history and design elements of the past.
