See Santo Domingo Square, the church, and the Cathedral of Santa Catalina de Alejandría, and walk around the streets filled with colorful colonial era houses. Try some typical Colombian specialties on the way including coconut sweets and fried arepa with egg, a traditional snack famous on the Caribbean Coast.
