As day turns to dusk, there&#8217;s no place better to soak in the sunset than <strong>Caf\u00e9 del Mar<\/strong>.\u00a0Located on top of the old fortress wall, this relaxed\u00a0caf\u00e9\u00a0is famous for it&#8217;s mojitos and waterfront\u00a0views. If the crowded scene isn&#8217;t for you, walk 5 minutes down the street towards\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Cartagena-Hotels-Charleston-Santa-Teresa-Cartagena.h889840.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa<\/a><\/strong>.

First, explore\u00a0<strong>San Felipe de Barajas Castle<\/strong>, the impressive fortress of San Felipe.\u00a0Many consider it to be the most spectacular\u00a0fort constructed by the Spanish empire\u00a0outside of Spain. Because Cartagena was such a strategically important city and a\u00a0gateway to their other colonies, Spain spared no expense to defend it. In 1984, both the fortress and the city were granted the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond the fort, another can&#8217;t-miss site lies high\u00a0on a hilltop above the city. The beautiful <strong>Convento de la Popa<\/strong>, serves as both a museum and active chapel. The convent&#8217;s flower-filled gardens are meticulously maintained and the panoramic views of the city below will take your breath away.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47246\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47246\" class=\"wp-image-47246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"View of the city below from Convento de la Popa | Compass + Twine \" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-1250x1667.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_5329-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the city below from Convento de la Popa | Photo by Compass + Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">When you&#8217;re back within the walls, head straight to lunch at <strong>El Boliche Cebicheria<\/strong>.
