So you’re planning a visit to Cartagena and want to know which rooftop bars are worth the visit during your stay?

Not a problem! I am here to take the guesswork out of your travel planning and share with you my top 5 rooftop spots for you to try while in this charming coastal town.

There are some cities that just encapsulate the magic of a rooftop bar: friendly locals, stunning views, and unmatched craft drinks that are borderline unforgettable. Cartagena is one of those magical cities located on the northern coast of Colombia, right on the Caribbean Sea. 

A very popular part of Cartagena is what’s known as “Old Town” or the “Walled City,” complete with cobblestone streets, colorful buildings and balconies, and even the occasional rooftop bar!
