The Port of Cartagena is a lively hub where modern maritime activity meets centuries of history. Stroll along the palm-lined Paseo de Alfonso XII, past yachts and fishing boats, with views of the old town and surrounding hills. Boat tours depart regularly, offering perspectives of the coastline and the city's fortifications from the water. The port area is dotted with cafes and restaurants, making it perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Its deep-water harbor has been a strategic asset since Carthaginian times, and remnants of ancient docks can still be seen.
