From the regional World / Travel essentials
Getting to Cartagena
Rafael Núñez International Airport serves Cartagena, while intercity buses arrive away from the walled center. Plan the last leg to Centro or Getsemaní before choosing your arrival route.
Cartagena / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Cartagena with our travel partners.
The airport is in Crespo, north of the historic center, so an arriving flight still needs a ground transfer. The bus terminal is farther east of the old city. If you are heading onward to the Rosario islands or Playa Blanca, first confirm the correct departure point and boat details rather than assuming every waterfront pier serves the same trip.
Useful to know
Check current airport transfer options and the fare before boarding a taxi.
From the intercity bus terminal, allow for a separate ride into the historic center.
Confirm the departure pier, route and included services directly with a boat operator.
