Getsemaní's vibrant street art and Plaza de la Trinidad are well-known, but its true magic lies just off the beaten path. Discover secluded courtyards, authentic eateries frequented only by locals, intimate live music venues, and the best spots to soak in the evening atmosphere away from the main crowds. Let us guide you to the heart of Cartagena's coolest barrio.
While everyone flocks to the main square, venture down the narrow side streets branching off Calle de la Sierpe. You'll be rewarded with quieter scenes, stunning bougainvillea cascading over balconies, and perhaps stumble upon...

Everyone knows the famous Café Havanna, but just a few blocks away lies another café with equally delicious pastries and coffee, but with a fraction of the crowd and a much more relaxed, authentic atmosphere perfect for people-watching.
