Food scene with a terrace view
Great terrace, good vibes and cocktails. Lots of entertainment from 7pm on the famous Plaza de La Trinidad, center of Getsemanì. PS: Will Smith in "Gemini Man" was 'shooting' in and around this place.
This is a terrace on the largest square of Getsemani, Cartagena's cool barrio - perfect for sightseeing and people watching. There's also a lot of street animation after 7pm, from mime artists, dancers, guitarists, Michael Jackson imitators, etc. And the food is good too!

Calle Dragones Cartagena
New promising place near your apartment, with rooftop too.
Probably the #1 rooftop bar in Cartagena. Jean is a dedicated, passionate owner. High standard, wonderful place.

Relax Beach Day (for affordable price) + boat trip
One-day-trip to the beach on Tierra Bomba! Affordable and close-by but including a little boat trip.
This is the closest private beach location near Cartagena on Tierra Bomba. Great for a relax day from 9am to 4pm. A beachday that usually costs only 90.000 COP and includes a welcome cocktail, local buffet and the boat trip all-included. Boats leave in front of the hospital of Bocagrande, on the beach, near a flag pole of Palmarito Beach.

Neighborhoods
Coolest barrio of Cartagena / wall art / cosy streets / bars / street food / native local atmosphere
This is the last authentic barrio in the center. This is where you can still find the authenticity of the city mixed with today's luxury. Its a lovely neighbourhood where Will Smith's movie Gemini Man was filmed (movie out by October 2019). Even Charlize Theron walked here to shoot a new blockbuster...

Another colorful historical part of authentic Cartagena. Unfortunately, it's a bit crowded during high season and street vendors/rappers can be a pain sometimes.

One of the best upscale restaurants in town, no doubt. Prepare for slightly higher prices.

Fine dining has a name: Mar y Zielo. Pretty impressive local kitchen.
Very small, cozy Italian restaurant, very close to the apartment. Good for a lunch or diner. Tom's favorite pasta restaurant ;-)

Beach Clubs (private)
Some like it, some hate it. Do your research, see ig, take a boat and enjoy your day. Cartagena doesn't have the most beautiful beaches in the world, to be fair. Beach club day passes can be expensive in high season.
