Home/Walled City
La Ciudad Amurallada
Eleven kilometres of wall, and a sunset on top.
A UNESCO World Heritage city you can cross on foot. Enter through the Clock Tower, get lost among balconies in the Centro and San Diego, and finish on the ramparts as the light turns gold.
Four stops
Walk it in one golden afternoon.
Tap or hover each photo. Start at the Clock Tower around 4 pm and end on the walls for sunset.
01Puerta del Reloj
The main gate into the old city, between Plaza de los Coches and Plaza de la Independencia.
02Las Murallas
Walk the ramparts at golden hour. Sea on one side, colonial rooftops on the other.
03Centro & San Diego
Bougainvillea balconies, plazas and cafés. Best early, before the heat.
04Atardecer
When the tower lights up, the city moves outside. That is your cue for dinner.
Tips
Beat the heat, find the shade.
Early or late
Midday sun is strong inside the walls. Explore before 10 am or after 4 pm.
Plazas for breaks
Stop in shaded plazas for fresh juice and let the city slow you down.
End on the walls
The ramparts are the best free sunset view in the city.
