Anyone travel to Cartagena Colombia?

Question

Cartagena used to be a cruise ship stop before the problems got worse in Colombia. Both President Clinton and George W Bush have met Colombian officials in Cartagena. Is Caragena safe for a trip? I understand the old city is one of the oldest areas in this hemisphere.

Answer 1

Cartagena is safe and beautiful. The water is not nice, but if you take a tour to the islas rosarios, the water is emerald green. I didnt really spend much time at the beach because there was so much to do, and I prefer to hang out by the pool anyways. I had a blast and I highly recommend you go.

Answer 2

Cartagena is a very safe city. Some cruise ships have already begun returning, but the majority will resume sevice to Cartagena by October.

Answer 3

Cartagena is one of the safest places in Colombia and Cartagena is BEAUTIFUL.....I am from Colombia, from Bogota and I used to spend my vacations on Cartagena with all my family.....go to Cartagena, don't miss that fabulous opportunity......enjoy the city, WONDERFUL!!!!!

Answer 4
