English Old town
The Roman Theatre, the town hall and central hotels.
Cartagena is about 35 km and 30 minutes from Murcia Airport, along the Murcia–Cartagena corridor. The old town, the port with its cruise terminal and the newer Ciudadela area are separate drop-offs, so your Zonetransfers driver goes to the exact hotel, quay or address.
Updated:

The old town has narrow and pedestrian streets; the car stops at the closest accessible point.
On cruise days the port area is busier, so give the ship's name if you are boarding.
Cartagena has three clear arrival zones, and hotels in each have different access.
The Roman Theatre, the town hall and central hotels.
