With its prime location right on the northern coast of Colombia, Cartagena offers some truly spectacular Sunsets. Watching a day full of great food, beautiful architecture and wonderful company burst into color and then slowly fade away is one of the favorite activities for visitors to Cartagena.

So where are the best places to watch the sunset in Cartagena?

A Sunset Boat Ride

Feel the air whisper through your hair and caress your skin while the walled city of Cartagena and the sparkling skyscrapers of Bocagrande offer a wonderful backdrop for a great sunset.

The Old City Walls

Cartagena’s walls have proudly protected the city since the 18th century (read more about this fascinating history here!) and now stand guard over all of the city’s secrets. What better place to end the day than the stone protector who has stood by Cartagena through thick and thin? Wall top bars such as Cafe del Mar offer the perfect vantage point for watching the sunset over the water and the neighborhood of Bocagrande come alive in a sea of glittering lights.

Rooftop Bars And Restaurants

Cartagena is home to some of Colombia’s hippest and most upmarket bars and restaurants. Your options range from eateries in quaint, old walled city landmarks to luxurious bars with open air decks and floor to ceiling windows. Many of these establishments offer a wonderful view for a sunset dinner or after dinner drink.

The City Streets

While the city streets may not give you a front seat view of the sunset, walking the streets of the old walled city and sitting in the many squares and plazas gives you the chance to see the city really come alive. Watch as families come out for an evening walk, children play in the squares, business owners close up shop for the day and elderly people meet old friends for an evening chat. The city’s past and present are on display like a well-rehearsed play in a New York theater. Make sure to brush up on your Spanish as you may even get a chance to become part of the scene and be one of the many actors!
