Very nice. You have no choice but to enjoy the Plaza scenery as you need to visit the sites around it. Neat to see all the people around it attending to their regular business.

This is the place to go to watch daily life. Surrounded by historical buildings, it is a beautiful square with lots of interesting things going on and lots of people to watch. You really feel this is the center of twon.

Unfortunately a lot of Quito old town is quite grubby in the daylight.at night it seems to light up (literally!!) There seems to be quite a good atmosphere around here in the evenings with quite a lot of the locals congregating to make it that way. Some of the old town streets can seem a little edgy but this plaza seems to be more safe.

Great place to people watch. Lots of ecuadorians walking about going to work, doing what they do every day.

This church blew my mind & I'm not normally a massive church fan - everything else paled in comparison to the unbelievable ornate decorations inside - don't miss this even if you only have 5 minutes...
