The best time or season to travel to Cartagena varies little throughout the year and depends on your interests. January is ideal to enjoy cultural events such as the Hay Festival, a great meeting around writing, and the Cartagena Music Festival. Another great time to visit the beaches and beautiful landscapes of Cartagena is between the end of November and the end of April. A good period considering that the climate is drier and cooler due to the sea breeze. To get to Cartagena de Indias, if you come from abroad, you can take a cruise or a plane. Airlines such as American Airlines, JetBlue, Interjet, KLM, Delta and Copa fly directly to Cartagena’s Rafael Núñez International Airport. If you are already in the country, you can take a flight with Avianca, LATAM, VivaAir or Wingo, among others. You can also rent a car from cities like Barranquilla and Santa Marta, with journeys that will take 2 and 4 hours. Getting around is very simple, especially by taxi, since the distances in tourist areas are not very long. However, we recommend that you check taxi prices in advance to avoid inconveniences due to cost overruns. Accommodation options are diverse and include everything from budget hostels to traditional colonial hotels to exclusive boutique hotels. Finally, if you have any questions, go to the numerous information points that you will find in the tourist areas of the city.
