Which one to choose in Cartagena
Two churches in Cartagena. Convento de la Popa has 5 tickets and tours to book; Iglesia de San Pedro Claver, Cartagena has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Cartagena, Colombia
The Convent of La Popa sits on top of the Cerro de la Popa, the highest hill in Cartagena, Colombia, about a hundred and fifty metres above the city, and a small admission fee is charged. The views over the walled old town, the Bocagrande peninsula and the bay are the main attraction, and they are the best in Cartagena. The hill is not a place to walk up on foot, since the roads on its slopes pass through neighbourhoods that are not safe for visitors;
Cartagena, Colombia
The Sanctuary of San Pedro Claver stands on the square of the same name inside the walled old city of Cartagena, Colombia, and the adjoining museum, in the former Jesuit cloister, is ticketed; the church can be visited during services or as part of the museum ticket. It is one of the most important historic buildings in Cartagena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and walking tours of the old city always include it, along with the cathedral, the Palace of the Inquisition, the Plaza de Bolivar and the city walls.
