We'll take you up from your hotel's lobby. This is the ideal opportunity to travel to El Salvador's capital. This half-day tour will be filled with a range of enjoyable activities, including a taste of pupusas, the country's signature cuisine, walking through the historical center, and more. Prepare yourself, and join us for this special experience.

This is one of the most respected sites by the citizens. Many parishioners come here to consecrate their faith. It is undoubtedly a jewel of the city, worthy of being visited and its works to be appreciated.

This site is still considered a memorial for archbishop Oscar Romero, who spoke in favor of human rights and the poorest during the late 1970s.

The National Palace is just a few meters away. It is a neoclassical architecture predominate construction built in the early 20th century, however, art nouveau, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles can also be seen in some decorative features.

We'll go into the National Palace's building so you can admire the architecture and the importance of this building through history.

The entrance fee to the National Palace will be included in the tour. Visit from the outside only.

One of the most significant venues for the performing arts in El Salvador was opened to the public in 1917.

We will visit the building from outside, for around 10 minutes

The new National Library of El Salvador is a spectacle of the architecture and culture of this beautiful country.

The historic district's core is where this plaza is situated. The city's expansion specifically from this point began in the 16th century and continued till today.

The Angel of Independence, erected in this plaza in 1911 to mark El Salvador's first century of independence, may be seen there. Two laurel wreaths, one in each hand, are held by this angel.

Francisco Morazan Plaza: This is one of the most historic and commemorative neighborhoods of the city of San Salvador.

It may be found right in the center of the Historic Center. This church's architecture is entirely distinct from the style often used to create catholic buildings.

This church is a treasure of the city's historic district. From 1964 to 1971, a total of 7 years were spent creating its one-of-a-kind structure.

Some people may not find the design to be very stunning from the outside, but once inside, we can appreciate its 22-meter-high ceiling and beautiful, big windows.

Inside the church, we see many wrought iron works of art. The wrought iron used in the works were originally firearms used in the Civil War. After the Peace Accords, these weapons were melted down and used to decorate the church artistically and to re-signify the use of these weapons.

**The church is closed on Sundays

This is the ideal place to buy all the souvenirs you want to take home, such as home decorations, gifts for someone special, or just a little something to remember your trip to this beautiful country.

We will visit the Handicrafts Market or a store specializing in Salvadoran handicrafts.

Tradicional restaurant: There is nothing like enjoying a pupusa, one of El Salvador's most famous delicacies, to end the day on a high note. Your favorite filling, including cheese, beans, chicharron, and a variety of other ingredients, may be found inside these thick corn tortillas. You'll lick your fingertips at the end of the day!
