Cartagena is a treasure for lovers of history, from the oldest to the most recent. Cartagena is invaded by the Roman spirit, being one of the Spanish cities where you can most enjoy and learn from that time. At the Roman Theatre and the Molinete Roman Forum Museum, you can visit a temple dedicated to Isis and thermal baths. And because not everything is Roman history, in Cartagena you can also visit the Conception Castle, a medieval fortress. In addition, you will be able to visit museums dedicated to the sea and marine treasures.
If you prefer, you can walk along the promenade and enjoy the views until you reach the jetty. To relax, take the opportunity to enjoy a boat trip, where in addition to enjoying the views, you will learn a lot about the history of Cartagena. To get active, you can choose to go hiking or diving. Or maybe you want to do both. Whatever your preference, you will enjoy the different beaches and coves that the natural environment of Cartagena offers.
An activity that many love is the market that is set up every Sunday in
Cabo de Palos, next to the lighthouse, which is one of the places with the best views in all of Cartagena. This combination of activities makes this town an ideal place for a multi-day getaway.
