Would you like to combine Roman history and Mediterranean landscapes in a single day? With the Cabo de Palos and Cartagena Excursion with Roman Theatre from Murcia, you will discover two of the most interesting destinations in the Region of Murcia on a complete experience lasting approximately 10 hours.
The activity starts in Murcia and first takes you to Cartagena, where you will explore its historic centre and visit the impressive Roman Theatre. Afterwards, you will have free time before continuing to Cabo de Palos, one of the best-known seaside destinations on the Costa Cálida.
What does the Cabo de Palos and Cartagena Excursion from Murcia include?
The meeting point is at Plaza Circular in Murcia, opposite Mercadona. From there, you will begin the journey by private coach accompanied by a guide.
The first stop will be Cartagena, a city shaped by more than 2,000 years of history and by the different civilisations that have passed through it over the centuries.
During the guided visit, you will discover some of the most representative places in the historic centre before entering the Roman Theatre of Cartagena, whose admission is included in the activity. Built in the 1st century BC and discovered in 1988, it is one of the city’s most important archaeological monuments.
After the visit, you will have free time to continue exploring Cartagena at your own pace, walk along the port, discover its historic streets or enjoy the local cuisine.
The excursion then continues to Cabo de Palos, one of the most emblematic coastal locations in the Region of Murcia. This traditional fishing village is known for its harbour, Mediterranean coves and especially its historic lighthouse, inaugurated in the 19th century.
