See Cartagena from a new perspective exploring the Getsemani neighbourhood with an English-speaking guide. Discover colourful houses and incredible street art on this free walking tour.
After meeting at the indicated time we'll meet in a central location in Cartagena and begin our free walking tour of the Getsemani district, one of Cartagena's most fashionable neighbourhoods.
Kick off your guided tour discovering the Parque del Centenario, a park created to commemorate the centenary of Colombian independence. You'll then head onwards to Plaza de la Trinidad, one of the busiest squares in Cartagena and a place which marks the start of the Getsemani neighbourhood, as a historic meeting point for the locals. The mustard-yellow Church of the Trinity completes the picturesque feel of this plaza, and from here the colourful streets really start to capture your attention.
As you walk through the streets of Getsemani, take the time to admire the vibrant graffiti painted by local artists on the walls. The beautiful murals represent a range of topics, from underlying social commentary to celebrations of local culture.
Continuing on your free walking tour, you'll visit the monument to Pedro Romero, an important working class leader and the first non-white military officer in Cartagena, and the Lanceros of Getsemani, the militia group he led in the fight for independence from Spain in the 19th century.
Your free walking tour will also take you to the Mercado de Bazurto, an enormous open-air market where anything and everything is on sale, and the Plaza "El Pozo", a square traditionally used for public gatherings, plus much more.
And what is that you can hear? Throughout the tour, it won't be your eyes feasting on the delights of the colourful streets and flower-filled colonial style houses of Getsemani, but your ears will also be treated to the sounds of vallenatos, traditional Colombian folk music.
Finally, after two and a half hours, the free tour will finish back at the original departure point.
It's not possible to reserve this tour for groups larger than six people. If you are a larger group, we recommend booking our private tour of Cartagena de Indias.
You can book up to 18 hours in advance if there are any seats left. Book now and guarantee your spot.
