Transport details
Type: Walking

Cartagena city center is pedestrian (no cars allowed), and it is within a comfortable walking distance from the cruise dock. The tour can be done on foot or by taxi if preferred. For sites located slightly outside the immediate center, a short taxi ride or private car can be arranged if walking is not convenient. Some locations, such as the Punic Wall, require around a 15-minute walk. The city center is paved with marble and is generally very accessible, including for wheelchair users. Please note that reaching the Roman Theatre and the Roman Forum involves a short walk of approximately 10 minutes from the nearest taxi drop-off point.
