The old town has since been beautifully restored to captivate visitors with its unique cobbled streets, tranquil atmosphere, museums, and rich history. Colonia is also known for its excellent gastronomy.

After the tour, you’ll have some free time to enjoy the city at your leisure before spending the night.
