One of the main plazas. Next to it is the Hotel Gangotena. Good place to get a drink or a ceviche.

The historic neighborhood in Quito is considered one of the best in all of Latin America; and the Plaza San Francisco is the center of it all. Stop by to take some pictures and if you want to splurge in a good meal, Cedeño restaurant is right there inside the Casa Gangotena Hotel.

Famous huge church and square

Both the church and the plaza are really beautiful. The plaza is surrounded by ornamented colonial-style buildings, and offers some really great spots for photographing the feel ofQuito’s Old Town. The area between Plaza de San Francisco and Plaza Grande is worth a stroll as well. Admire the walkways and the unique windows and balconies. If you’re thirsty for a drink, be sure to stop by Casa Gangotena, the most beautiful white building in the square. This luxury hotel underwent an expensive renovation years ago, and is absolutely pristine.

A beautiful church where you can go inside for mass or to admire the art work and history! The plaza outside is surrounded by businesses such as restaurants, electronic shops, boutiques and street vendors. A very popular place for pictures!
