What to do and see in San Salvador, San Salvador Department: The Best Sights & Landmarks
El Salvador's capital, San Salvador, is a modern city of wide boulevards and narrow streets, outdoor markets, government buildings, high-rises, monuments, an exuberant nightlife, museums and other cultural institutions. And all set against the backdrop of San Salvador volcano. The city is surrounded by shantytowns as well as affluent suburbs with restaurants and large shopping malls. Peaceful settings such as the botanic garden of Parque Cuscutlan provide a break from the city's hectic pace.

This was part of a day long tour that we were part of. Our tour guide explained so much about the Monument, it was very sobering to understand what happened so recently in this country.
