Walls of Cartagena

A nice place for tourists to visit and watch the sun set over the ocean. The entire wall isn't lit everywhere so it can get really dark at some places and there is no railing so there is some danger falling down a few meters unless you are careful.
There are a lot of shops and bars all along the old city, some are very famous and popular and have been visited by several famous people with proof of their picture taken at a certain place.
There are quite a lot of people walking the walls so expect most places to be crowded.

Absolutely stunning. 1595 and in great shape. I highly recommend walking along the wall.

Beautiful and well-preserved fortification including historical weapons such as the large defensive cannons.
The view of the sea invites you to linger. Strolling over the sections of the wall offers great views into the streets of the old town.

Visited during a party bus tour during a cruise excursion. We had a great tour guide. We loved the experience and learning about the history of Cartagena

Fun area to see how this all was built between 300 and 400 years ago to help in defending and the prevention of pirate attacks. Long walk if you attempt the entire go around but definitely some amazing views and an interesting history.

Definitely it’s one of the spots you should go and visit in Cartagena so beautiful especially during the sunset!

A must place to visit! Watch out for the taxi driver. Always confirm price. Best to use taxi drivers that are part of "cooperativa " or use uber. As far as security, tons of security and safe area. You may find a few "quince" (sweets 15) photo shoots taking place.

Wall run across most of the main Cartagena, you can walk over wall to get different views within city. Lot of street hawkers will entertain you for no reasons :)
Well maintained and spacious structure

I love, love, love walking through old cities, especially forts. These walls transport and help your imagination run, thinking of the amount of work it took, creativity and effectiveness of it all. It seems like these walls run forever. It's great to walk the route, especially as the sun is setting. There are a lot of cool spots to watch the sun set, some quiet and some more festive but beautiful nonetheless. You'll have people trying to sell you a few things, and they may also give you a quick history lesson too. Giving them a few bucks/pesos can go a long way. Having the Caribbean Sea so close to you during the day helps with keeping cool and is enchanting in the evening. Enjoy!

Beautiful place, lots of history, very very hot.

Walled city is amazing and rich with history.

Amazing views of the ocean and you can walk around on the walls. The architecture of the buildings and the street are amazing.

Lots of shops and restaurants and just take in the views. Well worth the visit and explore.

Beautiful monument with interesting historical significance. Also a great place to enjoy a sunset.

Very well preserved and maintained. You can sit, enjoy the breeze and watch the waves in the Caribbean Sea.

Awesome wall with wide walkways to amber about along the ocean. You can pick up horse drawn carriages along the way. Lots of friendly hawkers willing to share a part of the history. Two bars along the way.

Fantástico! The best! Must go! If you are planning on visiting keep in mind it’s all outdoors! Music, food, sunsets, people, families, couples, weddings, singles, etc it’s literally something for everyone! Don’t miss out on the performances in front of the clock tower and enjoy walking along the outskirts of the majestic wall! I arrived about 5pm and took a horse carriage ride around the town and made reservations at Del Mar to conclude our tour. We didn’t eat just enjoyed the sunset and music. The place was packed!! People sit along the wall with drinks and enjoy the moments and create lots of beautiful memories!! I wish I’ve spent more time here! Very romantic and authentic traditional style, cuisines and architecture!! Very exquisite!

Had a very good time in Cartagena. From the fortress to the boat tours. It's a nice place to go and spend some days and the food is great An affordable .

Beautiful walled city where you could walk around the outside wall and see the ocean on one side and the walled city on the other. It is also a great place to catch a sunset. There are vendors all around selling water and beer. Make sure you wear your favorite walking shoes, as you will be walking up and down some elevated trails.

Great place to visit, day time shopping with pleany of brand names and generic retail stores. Night time the place trasforms into bars, clubs and pleanty of restaurants to choose from. Uou have to deal with hustlers trying to take you to their place of reference for a compensation. Whatever your preference in a girl, face, color, hight, size, or any desirable bady part, is definitely there for you to take home. Some of them will smile from distance and wave hi, other are more aggressive.

Lovely city. hot hot hot and I'm talking about hot. Vendors are extremely up in your face. No room to even breath. Everybody and their momma are trying to sell you something. But once you run away from that. It's beautiful and safe.

Great ocean view, kilometers long walls which can be walked on top and will show you a great part of the city, also there are places to eat and drink here (specially at night) to have a great experience.
