This accessible Cartagena shore excursion introduces you to some intriguing history, including the impressive Roman Theatre, the historical Christmas Fort, the Punic Wall archaeological site, and some leisure time for shopping on your own.
Meet your knowledgeable guide and accessible van and head out to the Punic Wall of Cartagena, dating to the 3rd century BC. This archaeological site includes a museum, catacombs, and a small movie cinema, where you'll encounter firsthand the Punic Wars between the Carthaginians and the Romans.
Take photos of the iconic Castillo de la Concepcion, a hilltop castle from the Middle Ages.
Visit the ancient Roman theatre, built between 5 BC and 1 BC. Its museum includes underground hallways and many pieces found during the excavations. The theatre itself is one of the largest in Roman Hispania, with a capacity to seat 7,000.
Enjoy some free time for shopping on the main street.
En route back to the port, view the exterior of the Christmas Fort -- a symbol of the defensive system of Cartagena on the city's picturesque coastline.
Notes:
This tour is designed to be accessible for all guests, including those using a wheelchair. The tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs. The tour route avoids stairs; however, the nature of access may differ from the standards you are familiar with at home. Accessible bathrooms with wide doors are available along the tour route. An accessible vehicle with a wheelchair lift or ramp is used for transportation. The number of accessible vehicles available is extremely limited; make your accessible shore excursion reservations as far in advance as possible. Lunch is not included. If appropriate (i.e., on long-duration tours), you will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour.
This tour option is specifically for guests who require a reservation for a designated accessible space, such as a wheelchair anchor. If you are a companion or have chosen to book this tour but do not require a wheelchair anchor or similar accommodation, please select the version of this tour with 'Companion' in the title. This helps us ensure that all guests who need accessibility accommodations have access to the necessary resources and allows us to coordinate effectively with our vendors.
Please complete the Special Services form at Welcome to Special Requirements Form; this will ensure that suitable transportation is in place for your tour.
