Top Architecture in Cartagena

If you're into photography, try going around 4 PM when the light is amazing for pictures. I got some stunning shots and the place looked even better!

My advice is to visit on a weekday. I went on a Saturday, and it was super crowded. Weekdays are much calmer, and you can really take in the architecture.

I suggest visiting around 4 PM when the sun is setting. The lighting makes for awesome photos, and the crowd starts thinning out, so you can enjoy the architecture more.

I recommend checking out the nearby restaurants first before diving into a meal; I found a place that had fresh seafood at a lower price compared to the more touristy spots right on the plaza.

Check out the small shops around the plaza but don't buy anything too quickly; some places have negotiable prices! I found a few handmade items at half the price after chatting with the owners.

I think it's worth taking some time to explore the surrounding plaza. There’s often live music or street performers that really add to the experience.
