Worst ever Hotel experience!!! The hotel is next door to a club. The music was so loud and obnoxious. The wall and windows of the hotel barely block any sound. So my room is shaking at night. Don't even think about going to sleep. Maybe some rooms not next to the club are more bearable. But don't expect the staff to ask for your preference when you check in - they don't care. Other evidence of the careless behavior of the staff: when I checked in, pillow cases were left on bed and pillows are naked sitting on a shelf, and no shampoo in the bathroom.

One of the best hot spots in Cartagena. You shouldn't miss it! From there you can visit Muelle de Los Pegasos, Portal de Los Duces, and Plaza de La Aduana. Definitely recommend visiting this wonderful town.

Nice place, 2nd visit here and this time round there weren't as many people as 2 years ago, maybe due to the rain lately. But nonetheless, that did not stop the people from coming to this place. Loved the colonial buildings around the walled city and the bright colors. Lots of things to look at and buy. You can find a lot of restaurants and bars here. Foods are great 👍 no problem in finding them.

During the Christmas holiday in the early evening is when many families are out enjoying a night out. Later in the night the working girl arrive and it’s a very different atmosphere.

It is the best place to start in the Walled City. We met our guide Alonso Lopez there to start our private walking tour of the area for $20 each. On Saturday evening there were dancers in front that were incredible. There are the "palenques" ladies with the fruit basket in traditional dress you can pay to take pics with. We were told 10 - 20 mil is appropriate because they don't give you an outright price.

This place is pure magic…. You can walk it in the daytime and you’ll get to see lots of small shops selling artisan hand made stuff… watching the sunset is a must for this place… the whole scene is breathtaking and you will experience the best sunset in Cartagena…nighttime the whole place turns into a hangout where you can bar hop between all the bars and rooftops around the place… Uber accesible so you will have a ride … prices are very affordable on drinks and hookah…there is a spot for every music preference! This was the it place in Cartagena

Awesome! Live and where all and or most of the night time fun is! Beautiful place to sightsee!

Wonderful colonial walled city, great night life,very good restaurants.

Probably my favorite place inside the walled city of Cartagena. There are many beautiful shops, bars and restaurants around this area. But what really takes the price it's the very talented performers dancing to classic Colombian salsa and other genres.

Place and buildings awesome, but annoing are many street sellers.

(Translated by Google) Cartagena will always be a unique destination, all that is needed is for some vendors to be aware of what harms mistreating tourists (Original) Cartagena siempre será un destino unico, solo falta que algunos vendedores sean concientes de lo que perjudica maltratar al turista

In colonial times this was the only entrance to the city, it enters directly into the main plaza where and when in colonial times slaves were sold, now is very different and this entrance is where you will find guided tours around the colonial Cartagena , prepare to be amazed by the history, architectures, colors, flavors of delicious candies, fruits and drinks, and much more, from time to time people will approach you to sell something to you , but they are jot as intense as in the past , enjoy

A popular place to visit while in Cartegena, there are a lot of crows at night, no matter the day of the week. The clock is beautiful, and inside are a few local shops. Fortunately, at night, the lights illuminating the tower are amusing.

Went for the walking tour, both tour guides were great. Awesome photo oops but the ppl do hound you. Even saw a sloth.

This is really something to see... what they call the wall in Cartagena. now that i googled it i know....History of the Walls of Cartagena It was built at the end of the XVI century for the defense of the city. Its construction began on September 8 of 1614, after the attack of the legendary Sir Francis Drake and by order of King Philip III. The Italian architect, Carlos de Roda Antonelli, was responsible for the first stage of construction, which took 15 years, during which 15 bastions were built with the clear influence of Italian style. Later, in 1608, Cristóbal de Roda was commissioned to fortify the vast majority of the city that faces the open sea.

The monument was under construction and the view was restricted. Nevertheless, Christmas decorations and lights made it look better 😉

Excelent service super location great food ask for Benjamin (Sebastián...😜)he is the man there for anything you might need

We were here on New years Eve, and it was absolutely beautiful! We came again a few days later in the daytime, and it is just as beautiful! Cartagena is awesome, and this is an obligated visit!

Great place to get out and walk around and see the sights and enjoy great eating spots.

Great place o see some history during the day. At night it's a very different vibe. Iykyk

Cartagena is truly one of the most beautiful places on the Colombian map! Stunning. Old architecture, smiling faces, and the sweet scent of local food being cooked in the square permeates the air. There is a hustle and bustle of street markets, fine dining and so many small businesses that dot the rambling cobbled streets that you will be split for choice. CCTV and police presence provide that additional sense of security to preserve the feeling that tourists are safe and regarded. It's probably more of a visual promise to suggest that improper behavior is neither tolerated nor ignored. Despite all the warnings to be mindful of yourself and your goods, all we ever witnessed was an eagerness for the locals to sell their wares (famous candies, empanadas, and pastries) at this stunning historical location.

💛❤💙 Love this place. No where else I would rather be to people watch. Watch out for bums and cops trying to extort you.

It is a great lpace to visit and meet soom of the most beautiful girls in the world

Astonishing this walled city still leaves me in awe!

Lovely place and the entrance of the old town. It’s a good a start spot to discover this lovely and colorful city. We stayed here for three nights and walked through it everyday. I always tried to take a photo of it because it has different views.

Nice yellow building. When lost, I always looked for this clock tower to find the main plaza. The plaza is full of action at night. Only drawback were the many ladies of the night roaming around for work. But, still a super fun place. I enjoyed it so much that I've been back to visit many times. Highly recommend.

I loved the Walled City and the clock tower is at the heart of it all...this was my favorite place with all the people and activity.

Great area to visit during the day to do a bit of sightseeing and shopping but at night let’s just say you better bring the wife and kids at home cause it gets shady.

👍

We spent two nights at this hotel, it's a historic building, so the room was old and not soundproofed. There's a happening bar lounge on the roof, and because of the hotel located in the centre of lots of nightlife, the music was blaring until the early hours of the morning. If you were drunk, you probably would be able to sleep. Otherwise, earplugs might help. There was a firework show in the middle of the night on our last night, it was wonderful to watch it from the balcony.

Ambiance, nice people, convenient to Clock Tower area. Accommodations very basic and lack some things one could normally expect. Some deferred maintenance.

It is a beautiful entrance to the fortified city, there are vendors everywhere and at night there can be street shows from folklore dancers.

Beautiful place. Full of people. A lot of young rap talent, they’ll follow you a round making up songs. Very fun

What an amazing place! Ive been many places but the vibes on a weekend nite in cartagena inside the old city is like no other. The vibes are of the charts. Cartagena is pretty with many tours to islands or inland to get another side of Colombia. I stayed on calle 26 inside the second wall. It was much cheaper and just a short walk. Cool street to walk all around. Great fresh juice stands, coffee and pastries all over. Great dinning inside the clock tower area too.

The clock tower is a great spot to hit up while you're in town. Plenty of great food and sights to see. It's conveniently in the middle of everything. I always drop by when I'm in town!

I have visite Cartagena many times and each time find it more interesante

Pretty cool clock tower with some interesting history behind it. During the day the plaza is mostly dead, not sure if it’s due to covid. But it’s plastered with vendors trying to sell you something. During the night the plaza and clock tower comes alive with music, food vendors, restaurants, dancing and tons of people. Pretty lively place.

The historic center of Cartagena, it's a jewel of colonial architecture and modern entertainment. The police presence 24 hours a day makes it very safe no matter how late you decide to stay in a late night restaurant or clubs that are plentiful in this area

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) I saw it clean this last time I went... But the bad smell persists due to the lack of culture of the people and having it as a public bathroom, what a pity, but it is still a beautiful historical place to visit, that is also a lack of control and interest of the mayor's office, police and other entities that do not comply with their work.... (Original) Yo la vi limpia esta ultima vez que fui... Pero él mal olor si persiste por la incultura de la gente y tenerla como baño publico, que lastima, pero no deja de ser un lindo lugar histórico por visitar, eso también es falta de control y de interes de la alcaldía, policia y demas entidades que no cumplen con su labor....

Beautiful and iconic place, the clock tower square is a landmark in Cartagena, every tourist should visit this site. From here you enter the walled city which is full of great restaurants bars and hotels.

World heritage centro historico. Well worth the day there.

Lively area with a lot of good street food. A lot of entertainment From the locals seems like a safe place been there several times never had an issue just make sure you watch your belongings as it does get crowded Nice place to hang out with your friends have some drinks listen to music you will take many pictures

So beautiful recomone to make the caring tour it, s so nice and interesting

It's a landmark in Cartagena and a point of reference. It's beautiful and you usually find dances or cultural representations around it. How ever the place doesn't smell very nice.

It is one of the most iconic buildings in the city. You can take beautiful photos if you can get rid of the sellers who deliberately try to spoil the angle of the photo. Beware of the vendors who are constantly circulating "promotion". There is a public toilet nearby.

Lovely meeting point, at night there are shows of local traditional dancing.

Cool

Beautiful place and great for a central point to meet. Very safe.

A nice plaza to take a look around during daytime or to sit in the evening. There was a group off guys playing some music next to the monumento. From here you can enter the old city part!

Great place to visit in Cartagena, just be aware of all vendors and scams.

A beautiful place to see in person I'd highly recommend!

Nice place. I visited while a hurricane was coming by but still enjoyed it. 😊

Nice gathering place

Cool place to hang out and party. Just be aware of your surroundings. There is a great pizza place right next to Candela bar. Stop in, buy a slice, and say hello. One of the guys that works there is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan. Had a great time watching my Eagles and Phillies play at the Clock Pub, partied at the Clock Pub and also partied at Candela all within the wall of the Clock tower. If you love Salsa you gotta check out Havana! Havana is within walking distance from the clock.

What I love about the clock tower is the nice lady selling books. She has a collection of Gabriel Garcia Marquez Books. I bought a few of course. I was reading Garcia Marquez Books since my teens and it is my very fave Author. I had already been to Cartagena De Indias through the Novel: "Love in times of Cholera", and it was my dream to visit in person. 💃💃

Great area for just walking around to see plenty of local color.

Very nice and scenic I recommend going in the daytime if you want to sight see. During the evening it’s the party capital of the world.

The Vibe is so Festive. I was scared at first due to burglars however I still give it a shot and to my surprise there are so many police within the area so I feel so safe

Very lively location at all times during the day. Visited here on Friday during the day time and at night time. Different experience and view at both times. Day time involved a lot of vendors. Night time involved police, party goers and a lot of pickup girls. It felt unsafe at night time. Only iconic building in the whole city.

Amazing historical place. Rich in culture and history. We had dinner in a restaurant with great food and the most adorable people. If you visit Cartagena you have to go here.

Great place to relax within the walls with huge open area and benches under trees. I liked sitting there in the evenings when it's not too hot. Lots of touts and sales people pushing their goods and services but a polite decline goes a long way.

Very cool day or night. You will have vendors around 24/7 no matter the time of the day. Puts you at the center of walled city so you have access to everywhere. Felt pretty safe in a group. Can get overwhelming however

Beautiful plaza at Ciudad Amurallada. At day, great meeting point to get tours and at night, great restaurants and clubs. There's almost no shade so be sure to wear a hat or a lot of sunscreen. A must see landmark if you are visiting Cartagena.

I was there on the weekend and a couple of days of the week. The weekends are the busiest. This is the entrance to the walled city. There are a lot of locals selling trinkets, art, travel packages, themselves. When you think someone is being helpful they are usually looking for a tip. Other than that, the city is beautiful. This area is located across from a marina where you can embark on a party boat or catch other forms of transportation. The are some nice rooftop bars, boutiques and restaurants in the walled city in the area. I definitely plan on going back. I love the city vibe.

A place full of history, it is magical. The buildings will take you back in time. I was disappointed to hear there are some restaurants that does not allow black descendants in it. Overall, you will love learning, walking and seeing about one of the

Nice meeting point in the old town, you will find a big amount of sellers offering all sorts of things. I'm giving four stars because you literally can't spend 3 seconds without someone approaching you.

It is one of the most iconic places in Cartagena, it is sorrounded by many places like restaurants or bars, also during the day you can find cocadas.

Worth visiting. The most famous landmark of Carthagena. The road on front is very busy.
