Cartagena is a coastal city and one of the major ports of Colombia situated in the Caribbean Sea. The city has been an important link on the historical and exploration route to the West Indies. The region has been inhabited since 4000 BC as per the ceramics and remains found by archaeologists. The city has a unique scenery to watch; contrary to many historic sites and cities around the world, the walled city of Cartagena is well preserved to its original state. Besides site-seeing, the dining experience and the city's nightlife are major attractions for new travelers. Barrio Getsemani, beaches of Islas del Rosario, Cartagena's Cathedral, Tunnels of Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, and free street performances are fun activities that you must not miss. The downtown has a variety of architecture, mainly dominated by the colonial style of construction and the republican and Italian styles of architecture.
