What People Are Saying About Quito

Write a Review

Carondelet Palace

avatar
乖小咪
The presidential palace in Quito is located above the famous Plaza de Independence, a Spanish building with a history of more than 400 years. You can visit specific areas, the whole presidential palace is very large, with its own small garden, very beautiful.

Quito Old Town

avatar
HuaCF
The Old Town of Quito is definitely worth a visit. Many attractions such as the Basilica of the National Vow, Columbus's House, the Presidential Palace, the Compañía de Jesus, the Independence Square, etc. are here. The tickets are not expensive and the decorations in the church are very shocking.

Basilica del Voto Nacional

avatar
韭娄
The National Vow Church is called "Basilica" by the locals. It is 151 meters tall and can be seen from any side of the city. It is indeed tall enough. Inside, it is very simple and there are not many things. There is an additional fee to climb to the top, which is not expensive. We were tired and did not go up. Other churches in Quito are much more luxurious than this one.

Middle of the World City

Standing on the top of the monument and looking around, you can see a lot of peaks, some are volcanoes, large volume, spectacular, there are some small museums below the surrounding area, there are some knowledge about the north and south equator in the tower, you can participate in these activities (it seems to be paid inexpensive), Here are two addresses, because the first one is not particularly accurate due to technical reasons, we only went on a big one, people will step on both sides of the photo, very commemorative, get off the airport and have a car directly, so that you can save a transportation fee.

Independence Square

翱翔的大鲨鱼
Plaza de la Independencia The central square in Quito is not very big, not empty, at a glance, but a park with a monument of independent heroes in the middle, surrounded by many trees and long rafts, many locals sitting leisurely. Its side is Palacio de Carondelet. The presidents of Ecuador since independence have been here, and on the other side of the square is the cathedral of Ecuador.

Church of the Society of Jesus

avatar
翱翔的大鲨鱼
Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús. The latter is known as the most gorgeous church in the country. There is a large nave, and the interior is all paved with gold foil. Very elegant and beautiful. The Spanish style of the church is very consistent. I remember that the church in the Philippines is similar, so luxurious.

San Francisco Catholic Church

avatar
翱翔的大鲨鱼
It is located on one side of the Independence Square in Quito. It is a typical Latin American Baroque-style building. The exterior is very simple and the interior is also very simple. There are many tourists, most of whom are clergy and believers.

Parque La Carolina

avatar
乖小咪
Quito's Carolina Park is a large natural national park in Ecuador, with its magnificent scenery, endless peaks, long curved coastlines, and magnificent valleys, making it the most popular natural attraction in Quito.

Calle La Ronda

avatar
翱翔的大鲨鱼
La Ronda is known as Quito's bohemian street. The short streets are lined with colorful buildings and hung with small colorful flags. The atmosphere is joyful and energetic, which is completely different from the historical city. Since the colonial period, this place has been a gathering place for artists, literati, poets, politicians, etc. Many celebrities in Ecuador have visited. There are still many coffee shops, youth shops and restaurants, all of which are local.

Casa del Alabado

avatar
乖小咪
The Pre-Columbian House Museum in Quito is where Columbus lived. It is a two-story house built on the edge of the sea with a very beautiful view. The decoration of the house has a distinct Spanish style and the furniture is luxurious. You can fully experience the life scene of Columbus during his lifetime.
