Castillo de la Concepción

Nice views and some interesting stories and objects. With high winds, many areas were closed off, and entrance to the castillo was very hard to find. Even harder to find was an exit. The only way out we found was through the (paid) panaromic elevator. Which does not have a regular call button when you are at the castillo level...

One of the highlights of Cartagena! Worth the visit. Entry is difficult to find, goes through a tunnel, then through a museum of the Roman era, then through the Roman theatre. You can go up higher and see the views of the mountains and other castles. This is the only castle in and around the city that is maintained for tourism.

There is a feee way to enter from the opposite side of the elevator. To enter inside the castle is paid but the park around it is free and you still have pretty good views in every direction. It would be a perfect place for a rooftop bar or cafe. Worth considering 🤔

Nice views of the city and port. The walk up is lovely or you can take the lift. Would be nice if they had a cafe up there. The vending machine wasn’t working (very common with that particular company) so we couldn’t get water. Still worth a visit

Spectacular views of Cartagena and nice museum. If you are not doing a guided tour, highly recommend purchasing the 4, 5 or all inclusive pass/voucher that will get you into multiple or all attractions, as it makes it less complicated to visit the major attractions. The Cartagena multi passes are found on the Puerto de Culturas website. With the multi attraction/voucher pass, the Roman Theater and Museum only come together, and count as 2 attractions. I thought that by purchasing the online multi-pass we wouldn't have to wait in line at all, but we did have to wait in line at the elevator going up to the castle. Tour guides also get to jump in front of everyone standing in line to go up the elevator. I think we ended up waiting in line for the elevator about 15 minutes. I would have preferred to just walk up to the castle, but we were trying to save energy for everything that we wanted to see. We were able to visit Conception Castle, Roman Forum and its museum, and the Roman Theater and its museum in time to get back to the ship with time to spare.

Great views very interesting visit…make sure you go in the “Aqua space”…

5€ per person was a fair price Great views! Bit of a hike up but worth it.

A great experience, you can stroll up the steps, which is a beautiful walk or take the lift. There are some magnificent views of cartagena city and while we were there,there was a De Vinci exhibition, and peacocks roam around freely.
