Castillo San Felipe Fortress

Check out the cannons and tunnels. They’re super interesting, but I didn’t realize they were there until after I missed them!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, and some areas have uneven surfaces.

If you want a stunning view, climb to the top of the fortress before sunset. The colors over the city are incredible!
Naval Museum of the Caribbean

If you're on a budget, check for discount days or times. I did and saved a few bucks on admission which made my visit even sweeter!

Don't skip the gift shop; unique naval-themed souvenirs are available and reasonably priced – I found some cool gifts for my friends back home.
Palace of the Inquisition Cartagena Historical Museum

Check out the gift shop before you leave! I found unique souvenirs here that I didn’t see anywhere else in Cartagena. Just remember to haggle a bit if you want a better price!

I suggest visiting early in the morning, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds. It made my experience way more enjoyable and gave me the chance to explore without feeling rushed.
