San Salvador, El Salvador

San Salvador El Salvador

San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, is situated on the foothills of Volcán San Salvador in the centre of the country. It is a big city with some nice museums and a few grand buildings and monuments.In the city centre you will find a bustling street life with a lot of traffic and vendors on the streets. There are several squares and parks and monumental buildings. Plaza Gerardo Barrios, in the heart of San Salvador, exudes grandeur and stateliness. Nearby, we’ll find the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Iglesia El Rosario, one of El Salvador’s architectural gems, and the Mercado Ex-Cuartel, the country’s largest souvenir market. The best museums in San Salvador are in the more modern and quieter parts of Zona Rosa and Colonia Escalón. One of the most enjoyable things to do in and around San Salvador is a visit to the Parque Botánico La Laguna in Antiguo Cuscatlán area. These beautiful botanical gardens, located at the bottom of a volcanic crater, showcase much native fauna. San Salvador provides a convenient location from which to explore the rest of the country. Good restaurants, fine shops, exciting nightlife, and friendly Salvadorians. Come in and explore the city!!
