Step by Step

The City Sightseeing tourist bus of Cartagena de Indias offers you everything you need to get to know the city, no matter how much time you have for sightseeing.

Through the hop-on hop-off mode, you will have the opportunity to get off at the places you prefer and tour them at your own pace, following a route of 14 stops when you purchase your ticket, valid for one or two days, depending on the option you choose.

This historically important city in Colombia, known as "La Heroica", has many incredible sites to offer:

  • Fort of San Sebastián del Pastelillo: on the island of Manga you will be amazed by this fortress, from where the city was defended from attacks during the time of Spanish colonisation.
  • Muelle de los Pegasos: in this area of the Port of Cartagena you will see two beautiful statues of pegasos, erected in honour of the creatures of Greek mythology.
  • Emerald Museum: learn all about the process of emerald extraction and carving in this museum (admission included).
  • Clock Tower: located around the squares of La Paz and Los Coches, which you can also visit, stands the beautiful clock tower, about 30 metres high.
  • Castillo San Felipe de Barajas: considered one of the seven wonders of Colombia, this 1657 building is a key piece in Cartagena's history of conquest and independence.
  • Walled City: this neighbourhood holds jewels such as the Palace of the Inquisition, the Zenú Gold Museum and one of the houses where the writer Gabriel García Márquez lived.

You will travel in a comfortable red double-decker bus with panoramic view, from where you will appreciate the colourful and energetic streets of Cartagena de Indias.

In addition to having free rein to make the tour according to your own itinerary, you also have the option of taking a guided walking tour of approximately 90 minutes, included with your ticket.

    Tour buses always save my vacation, and this time was no less. While it made me a little dizzy at first, it went away quickly and I managed to enjoy the rest of the tour.
