Cartagena is well known for its colorful and charming, rather it is inside the Walled City, or in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Getsemaní, with its street art and narrow alleyways where locals and visitors mingle in a blend of trendy and traditional.
Café del Mural is the perfect representation of that. On a quiet, little street in Getsemaní, Café del Mural is located across from a colorful mural of the city. Even if you can’t snag one of the limited seats by the mural, the outside seating area behind the café or at one of the seats inside the art-adorned cafe itself will work just fine. With a multitude of preparations on the menu, Café del Mural’s unique atmosphere makes it undoubtedly another one of the top cafes in Cartagena.
*Café del Mural also offers a coffee workshop that explains the process behind your cup of coffee, which makes for a great rainy day activity. Learn more about how to enjoy a rainy day at our post on the 5 best rainy day activities in Cartagena.
