Description:

Cartagena—a city stretched along the northern coast of Colombia—manages to combine stunning beach scenery with an urban center rich in modernity and history. Arguably so, the finest means of feasting your eyes on this gem comes via double-decker bus, and a hop-on hop-off, adjustable itinerary.

Climb onboard your open-air ride, and cruise through Cartagena’s historic old town. Surrounded by 500-year-old walls, the city’s former defense strategies included a military fortress, still intact today. Explore the Castillo de San Felipe, designed by Dutch engineer Richard Carr, and built by the Spanish in 1657 as a safeguard against pirates.

Walk through the Palace of Inquisition—the actual structure where the Spanish Inquisition tortured, judged, and convicted men—and admire the 18th-century chamber that now contains cryptic equipment, and other historical artifacts.

Visit the city’s several impressive monuments, such as the Simon Bolivar statue—known as ‘’The Liberator’’ of South America due to his efforts to free the colonies from Spanish rule—or the port-side testament to the Spanish Heroes of Cavite and Santiago de Cuba, a stone and marble landmark that commemorates the Spanish marines who died fighting American and Cuban troops.
