Cartagena Puerto de Culturas
Cartagena Puerto de Culturas is the consortium that opened a good part of the city's heritage to the public: the Castillo de la Concepción, the Punic Wall, the Civil War Museum-Shelter, the Roman Forum Museum, the Casa de la Fortuna, the Augusteum, the Fuerte de Navidad and the Isaac Peral House Museum. It also runs the panoramic lift that goes up to the castle, the tourist bus and the tourist boat.
The tourist boat
It sails around the harbour at about 2.5 knots, with commentary in several languages on the castles, coastal batteries, lighthouses and quays of the bay, and lands at the Fuerte de Navidad, which is visited with the same ticket. In November 2026 it costs €8 and €7 reduced. It leaves Tuesday to Friday at 11:00, 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays also at 15:00 and 16:00; from spring to autumn there are more departures, and in July and August, every day until 19:30. It is closed from 6 January to 28 February.
