Cartagena is a city in Bolivar, Colombia. It was the first Spanish colony on the American continent and it was one of the first sanctuaries of freed African slaves in the Americas. The city is located on the northern coast of the country and it faces the Caribbean Sea. Cartagena is the most visited city in the country and it can get particularly crowded during the December holidays, the holy week, and when schools are out for Colombians.

Most tourists spend time in either the walled colonial city or Bocagrande, along the beach. There are a variety of hotel and hostel options in these areas. The neighborhood of Castillogrande is also a nice area to visit.
