Lorey2007 Posted October 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2016 In some excursions I have been researching it refers to the Walled City and other times to the Old City, are they actually one in the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafabi Posted October 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yes, they are one and the same. From this page: http://www.nineofcups.com/Articles/cartagena_the_beautiful.pdf "La Ciudad Amurallada (Walled City), also called Centro Historico or just Centro."

From this page: http://www.nineofcups.com/Articles/cartagena_the_beautiful.pdf "La Ciudad Amurallada (Walled City), also called Centro Historico or just Centro." Thanks for the link to the great article about the Walled City/Old City. So many times I came across references to either the Walled City or the Old City and wanted to make sure they were one in the same. Thanks again I can't wait to get there.

Moo0929 Posted October 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I've read conflicting things about Cartagena. Is the Old City within walking distance from the cruise port, or do you need to take a taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafabi Posted November 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've read conflicting things about Cartagena. Is the Old City within walking distance from the cruise port, or do you need to take a taxi? You need to take a taxi. It is about a 10-15 minute drive. It is very hot and humid there, and there are some sketchy parts of town outside the walled city. There are different opinions about inside-the-port (expensive, possibly English-speaking "cartel") taxi drivers vs. outside-the-port (cheap, possibly reckless) taxi drivers. You can get more information by searching this forum for "taxi".
