Being the capital of the country, as well as lying in the center of the country, San Salvador is a surprising destination that might not be a tourist's first thought. This wonderfully modern city lies in the "Valley of the Hammocks" (rough translation) and with the towering San Salvador volcano as a backdrop, it is an impressive site.
San Salvador could also be named the city of monuments, as it has no less than ten beautiful monuments scattered throughout the region. Home to nearly two million people, this large metropolis is surprisingly clean and modern for a country that has struggled on the world stage. ...

Wide boulevards lend the city a feeling of grandeur and sophistication. With all the amenities one would want and wonderful cathedrals and monuments, this city has immense potential and opportunity.
Perhaps because San Salvador has been devastated by earthquakes and has been rebuilt several times, there is a feel of newness to the city. The city has many museums, theatres, and even a new aquarium being built, which give the city a really modern and clean feel and look.
San Salvador is a great spot for you to begin your trip to the rest of the country. If you are planning to stay in the San Salvador area there will not be a shortage of things to see or do.
