đźš— BEST OPTIONS FOR MOST TRAVELERS:
1. Ride-Hailing Apps (Uber, InDrive, DiDi) – Recommended
Best for: Tourists, convenience, avoiding scams
Pros: Safer, prices are shown up front, avoid haggling with taxi drivers.
Apps:
Uber works in Cartagena (semi-legally, but widely used).
1. InDrive is popular—you set your price, drivers accept or counter.
DiDi is gaining traction, too.
Tip: Cash is often preferred, but some apps allow cards.
2. Taxis (Only if Necessary)
Best for: Short trips if no app is available
Warning: Always negotiate price before the ride. There are no meters.
Many taxi drivers overcharge tourists, so try to ask locals for price guidance first.
Stick to yellow taxis, and avoid getting in if they won’t agree to a fair rate.
3. Walking – Old Town / Walled City
Best for: Exploring Centro HistĂłrico, GetsemanĂ, beaches, cafes
Pros: Completely walkable, scenic, charming, and safe (in tourist areas)
Tip: Stay hydrated—Cartagena is hot and humid year-round.
4. Scooter or Bike Rentals
Available in tourist areas like the Walled City and Bocagrande
Fun but risky: Traffic can be chaotic, and drivers don’t always respect two-wheelers.
Use only if you're confident navigating Latin American roads.
5. Public Transportation (Transcaribe)
Buses with A/C and defined routes
Good for locals, but not ideal for short-term visitors
Routes and stops can be confusing unless you speak Spanish and know the area.
6. Private Driver or Tour Service
Great if you're doing excursions (e.g., Playa Blanca, Rosario Islands, Volcán del Totumo).
Often booked through hotels, Airbnb hosts, or tour companies.
