Cartagena → Bocagrande: key facts

Bocagrande from Cartagena Airport (CTG) by private transfer: €30 per car (1–3 people) or €45 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 8 km, roughly 15 min when traffic is light and 15–25 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public area outside the arrivals exit of the terminal, at the national or the international arrivals side depending on your flight, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Bocagrande is the modern hotel and apartment district on a narrow peninsula south of the Old Town, lined with high-rise towers along its beach on the open Caribbean. From the airport in Crespo the route runs south along Avenida Santander by the sea, passes the walls of the Old Town and continues past the Muelle de los Pegasos and Avenida Blas de Lezo before entering Bocagrande on Avenida San Martin. The drive is around 8 km and crosses the busiest part of the city.

Avenida San Martin and the parallel Carrera 1 along the beach carry most hotels, shops and restaurants of Bocagrande. At the tip of the peninsula lie El Laguito, with more hotels and a lagoon, and next to it the residential Castillogrande, facing the inner bay. Beach access is directly across the seafront road, and the Old Town is about 3 km to the north. Hotel driveways and building entrances can be reached by car.

Public transport instead: Transcaribe bus T102 (Portal - Crespo) from Crespo (stops in the Crespo district next to the airport) to Portal (via the Transcaribe trunk corridor), Mon-Fri 05:00-21:00, Sat 05:30-20:30, Sun and holidays 06:00-20:00. Urban buses (transporte publico colectivo) bus from Rafael Nunez Airport area to city routes, daily 06:50-23:45. No direct public transport from the airport to Bocagrande is listed by the airport; the Transcaribe route T102 (Portal - Crespo) and urban buses pass near the airport, and Bocagrande is reached with a change in the city.
