Cartagena - Col - 21/12/2024
Classic cars are one of the most iconic attractions in Cartagena, used for both sightseeing tours through the historic center and for the famous weddings that fill the streets with elegance. These vintage vehicles, with their nostalgic charm, provide an evocative and fun experience, transporting visitors back in time as they explore the city’s main landmarks. Whether cruising along the walls or visiting the most important plazas, classic cars become a central part of the Cartagena experience, especially when they are part of wedding ceremonies that add a touch of glamour to the city streets.
