Opened in 2007, MAMbo is housed within a former industrial space constructed in 1915, which previously operated as a bakery for many years. The museum features a diverse collection showcasing art from World War II to the present, featuring renowned Italian and foreign artists.

Enclosed within a protective wall reaching up to 20 metres in width, the Ciudad Amurallada (or Walled City) is Cartagena's old beating heart. Packed with well-preserved colonial buildings, it's a pleasure to stroll through; its streets of colourful low-rise merchant homes marked by iconic balconies are now mostly walked by either tourists or students who attend classes at the University of Cartagena during the day and linger for meals and nightlife after school is out. Cafes in Plaza Aduana and Plaza Santo Domingo teem with patrons, forging an incredibly jovial atmosphere; the districts of San Diego and El Centro are two not to be missed. There is plenty of food and shopping to be had, with a mixed bag of world-class restaurants and street food hawkers and the incredibly photogenic palenqueras — women dressed in vibrantly coloured clothing selling fruit in the streets — images of whom have become emblematic of Colombia as a travel destination.

The Bremer Philharmoniker orchestra is one of the oldest orchestras in the world, with 200 years of existence. Its deep-rooted traditions and the variety of its artistic programmes make it an essential part of the culture in North West Germany. The orchestra has a wide repertoire that includes opera, chamber music and philharmonic concerts. In addition to performances, they host charity concerts and music workshops for both adults and children. If you want to listen to the Bremer Philharmoniker for yourself, visit the philharmonic hall located within the 'Die Fabrik' business centre.
