Overview of the Tour
Commencing at the designated hour, our complimentary tour of Cartagena kicks off from the city's historic center, a key highlight along the Murcia coastline.
Our journey begins at the Cartagena port, the essence of this ancient city that boasts a 3,000-year legacy. As we stroll by the waterfront, we will reveal the significance of this area. Our walk continues toward the Naval Museum, home to the prototype of Isaac Peral's submarine. Following this, we’ll make our way to the Plaza Héroes de Cavite, notable for its grand obelisk honoring those who served bravely.
Next, discover the Plaza del Ayuntamiento alongside the vibrant Palacio Consistorial, a masterpiece of modernist architecture. This point leads us to the bustling Calle Mayor, the principal shopping avenue in Cartagena.
From here, we proceed to the iconic Roman Theatre, a must-see during our exploration. After this important stop, we’ll venture deeper into the city, passing by lively spots such as Plaza San Francisco, a central hub for dining and entertainment in Cartagena.
Continuing from Plaza San Francisco, we’ll enter the Roman Forum district. Here, you will have the chance to ascend Cerro del Molinete, where panoramic views and the Archaeological Park await you.
Our path will lead us around the hill to Santa Florentina street, known for its delightful bakeries and its renowned 'churrería', a local churros shop, which conveniently connects back to Calle Mayor, at the core of the historic district.
Concluding this 2.5-hour exploration, we will gather in front of the iconic Gran Hotel, symbolizing the end of our time together.
