Why spend New Year's Eve in Barranquilla?
December is a fantastic time to visit Barranquilla. The city is spectacularly decorated, the 'December breeze' relieves the Caribbean heat, and the large hotels offer memorable San Silvestre parties.
What are the best areas to stay?
The El Prado neighborhood is ideal for lovers of history and republican architecture, while the Buenavista sector concentrates modern luxury, the best shopping centers, and avant-garde restaurants.
What day plans can be made at the end of the year?
Stroll along the Gran Malecón del Río at sunset, visit the Ventana al Mundo monument, or take a short excursion to the beaches of Puerto Colombia or the Castillo de Salgar.
Do I have to book far in advance?
Yes, although it's not Carnival season, New Year's Eve parties in hotels like El Prado or Crowne Plaza are highly requested by locals. We suggest booking at least 2 months in advance.
