Always take a <strong>taxi<\/strong> if you&#8217;re heading back <strong>at night<\/strong>, especially on empty streets (Bocagrande, Getseman\u00ed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going out <strong>at night<\/strong>, be cautious of smooth talkers and never leave <strong>your drink<\/strong> unattended in <strong>bars<\/strong> or clubs. Cartagena also attracts <strong>prostitution<\/strong> networks, and bad encounters through apps like <strong>Tinder<\/strong> are not rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch out for <strong>price scams<\/strong> if they\u2019re not listed\u2014it&#8217;s a fairly common practice here. Always ask before buying.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e5382d60\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-03f3ec95 gb-button-text destCta newTab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/is-medellin-safe-colombia\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-lasso-id=\"107135\">Medellin Safety<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-e21183d7 gb-button-text destCta newTab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/is-cartagena-safe-colombia\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-lasso-id=\"107136\">Cartagena Safety<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-315dc699 postItineraryBoxPicture\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ba39fc8b\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Comuna-13-Medellin-Antioquia-Colombia-13-1.jpg\" alt=\"Comuna 13 Medellin Antioquia Colombia\" class=\"wp-image-87924\" style=\"width:834px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Comuna-13-Medellin-Antioquia-Colombia-13-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Comuna-13-Medellin-Antioquia-Colombia-13-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Comuna-13-Medellin-Antioquia-Colombia-13-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"postItineraryBoxPictureAuthor\">\u00a9 Tomplanmytrip<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-06b8c78b postItineraryBox\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ed3321f3 postItineraryBoxInfos\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosName has-global-color-11-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c19f0879189c651126ac001a62dd906b\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Cartagena Vs Medellin: Things to do <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading postItineraryBoxInfosIntro has-global-color-14-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8975a831a59b79bed98117f20d3f1a98\">It depends.<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bf4bf515 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5bcd8515 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-13177d32 gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-13177d32\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Medell\u00edn: Urban tourism<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-7df57736\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7df57736\">\n\n<p>I love taking a <strong>free walking tour<\/strong> <strong>downtown<\/strong> to explore this chaotic neighborhood and learn about Colombian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comuna 13<\/strong> is another must-see.

In the afternoon, we visit the <strong>Museo de la Memoria<\/strong>, a great way to understand the <strong>armed conflict<\/strong>. The day ends with <strong>salsa<\/strong> at one of my favorite spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On day three, I like to show them how Medell\u00edn has <strong>transformed<\/strong>. The best illustration is a visit to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/comuna-13-medellin-colombia-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"87074\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"107309\">Comuna 13<\/a>,<\/strong> with its powerful <strong>graffiti<\/strong>. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">In the afternoon, we explore the&nbsp;<strong>chic<\/strong>&nbsp;El Poblado neighborhood<\/span>, finish with a drink on a trendy <strong>rooftop<\/strong>, and enjoy the city views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think three days are <strong>enough<\/strong> to see Medell\u00edn without rushing. If my guests have <strong>more time<\/strong>, I take them <strong>paragliding<\/strong> or <strong>rafting<\/strong>. I suggest a trip to Guatap\u00e9 or a <strong>chocolate<\/strong> tour in San Rafael for a slower day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2bb1e209 postAdvice right\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-682d5a7a postAdvicePicture\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-3ccf7bcc\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"311\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-3ccf7bcc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"adrien-left\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left.png 262w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-50c90bb4 postAdviceContent\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-91162401 postAdviceContentBloc\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading postAdviceContentTitle\">ADRIEN&#8217;S TIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"postAdviceContentDetails\"><strong>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/travel-to-colombia\/destinations-in-colombia\/medellin-around\/medellin\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"8850\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"107310\">travel guide about Medellin<\/a> to learn more about this great city.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:capitalize\"><strong>Overview of Cartagena (based on my experience)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"83337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rosario-Islands-Cartagena-Colombia-Eastern-Caribbean-Coast-Tom-Aleja-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rosario Islands -
