Centro Histórico

Quito

It's hard to tell from its quaint city center how enormous Quito is.  On the steps of Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco, you can see the colorful buildings that cover the hills surrounding the city and get an idea for how large this city is.  #lifeatexpedia

For the best view of Quito from above head to the rooftop bar at Casa Gangotena. I recommend going just before sunset and trying one of the hotel's local specialty cocktails.  #LifeAtExpediaGroup
One of oldest pedestrian streets of Quito with colorful artisan stores and balconies. It is said that it dates back to the 1400s when it was part of an Inca trail and was repurposed by the Spanish in the 1800s.

Lovely boutique hotel close to a street full of restaurants and the old city. It is a little challenging for taxis to collect directly at the hotel, but this is because of narrow busy streets and to be expected in this part of town.
