Cartagena is currently undergoing several major urban renewal projects aimed at improving its infrastructure and public spaces. The revitalization of the historic city center is one of the key initiatives, with a focus on restoring historic buildings, improving pedestrian access, and enhancing the appeal of cultural landmarks.
The city is also investing in sustainable tourism, with eco-friendly initiatives designed to protect its coastal and marine environments. Cartagena is working to promote year-round tourism, moving beyond its traditional summer peak, by highlighting its cultural festivals, archaeological sites, and mild winter climate.
Cultural initiatives, including the expansion of the city’s museums and galleries, are positioning Cartagena as an emerging destination for art and culture lovers, with plans to host more international exhibitions and performances in the coming years.
