6 Food Landmarks in Cartagena You Need to Visit
6 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Bazurto Market
Puente de Bazurto, El Bosque, Cartagena, Colombia
Bazurto is Cartagena's real market — a sprawling, chaotic, intensely local market outside the tourist zone where the city's working population buys their fish, meat, fruit, and vegetables at prices that the walled city's restaurants charge three times more for.
Bocagrande Beach & Modern Cartagena
Barrio Bocagrande, Cartagena, Colombia
Bocagrande is Cartagena's modern beachfront district — a peninsula of high-rise hotels, condominiums, and the Caribbean beach that provides the swimming, sunbathing, and seafront promenade that the walled city's harbour location can't offer.
Cartagena Street Food & Ceviche
Cruce por Centro Comercial Getsemaní, Getsemaní, Cartagena, Colombia
Cartagena's street food is Caribbean Colombia at its most flavourful — a cuisine built on seafood, coconut, plantain, and the African-influenced cooking traditions that distinguish the Caribbean coast from the rest of Colombia.
Getsemaní
Cartagena, Colombia
Getsemaní is Cartagena's most vibrant neighbourhood — a former working-class district adjacent to the Walled City that has transformed into the city's creative, nightlife, and street art epicentre while retaining the community character that the heavily touristed centro has lost.
Plaza de San Diego
8-15 Calle 39, San Diego, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia
Plaza de San Diego is a small, intimate square in the quieter northern part of the walled city — named for the now-demolished Convento de San Diego and dominated at one end by the restored 17th-century Santa Clara convent (now the luxury Sofitel Santa Clara hotel).
Sunset from Café del Mar
Cartagena City Walls, Centro, Cartagena, Colombia
Café del Mar sits atop the Baluarte de Santo Domingo — a section of the colonial walls overlooking the Caribbean Sea — and provides the most celebrated sunset experience in Cartagena.
