Consejos para la ciudad
Reserva antes de ir
Avoid tap water
Tap water isn't the way to go in Cartagena you can use the water filter in the house or the water supply in the fridge.
Cómo moverse
you can find places that rent scooter, bikes or segway
Moving around the old city in bikes or segways is a great option for sightseeing
No te lo pierdas
The views from the walls of the old city are a must
you can see the sunset from the walls at the old city, i would suggest to avoid Cafe del mar (tourist trap) I recommend El baluarte in front of Santa Teresa hotel!
