Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. Maybe timing matters.

Word of caution — don't carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Thanks for posting this. The forum has been quiet on Cartagena lately so this is welcome intel.
