Cartagena is a city that has long attracted artists and writers. The passion that these people bring to their craft flows out of their workshops and studios into the streets of the city. It is impossible to ignore the passionate energy in the air, especially for people in love, lust, and everything in between.
Luckily, there are many places for romantic canoodling throughout the city whether you are looking for a high-end rooftop bar or an out of the way square that has long hidden the embraces of amorous couples.
Sometimes, the most romantic moments are when we feel closest to nature. From hikes to secluded waterfalls to sunset sailboat rides, there is a reason why so many people pop the BIG question when surrounded by Mother Nature’s greatest gifts. Naturally, some of Cartagena’s most romantic spots are outdoors.

Boat Rides
Hands down, one of the most romantic ways to spend an evening is on a private sunset boat ride. Life can’t get much better than sipping bubbles and watching the world go by as the wind kisses your skin and ruffles your hair.

Old City Walls
The old city walls have long wrapped her protective arms around the old city of Cartagena. A walk along the walls at sunset followed by a moonlight cuddle as the sea sparkles in front of you is sure to make you and your loved one feel at peace and secure in each other’s arms.
