Our only regret regarding Old Town was that we did not arrange for our accommodation to be in the district! What an architectural treasure. It is not to be missed. We spend a lot of time in Independence Plaza interacting with the wonderful Ecuadoran people who were eager to interact with us. Friendly, gracious and willing to help at anytime.
景色非常漂亮,但在盘山路上的时候很害怕,因为没有任何护栏,我感觉我们可能会摔下悬崖。这个城市开车很困难,而且对于行人或者是流浪狗来说也是比较走的。
The best museums are within walking distance of each other. Our favourites were: Museo de la Ciudad and Casa del Alabado.
We just returned from our trip to Ecuador and it was fantastic. We traveled with Gate 1 Travel and the trip was not just a vacation but quite the experience!!!! We would never have gotten to do many of the things or went to the places we did if we were not on this tour!!!! It was just awesome!! We had a group of six family members and we all felt it was the best vacation yet!!!! Kudos to Gate 1 Travel. We will be booking a trip with you again!!! Mike and Nancy Aldinger
强烈推荐,很适合看人群和拍照。我们在这里住了几天,一直都感觉很安全。一定要去看看总统府,进去参观一下。
For a glimpse into the real Quito and the real Ecuador, a visit to this section of the city is absolutely necessary. While the main plazas and government buildings are absolutely beautiful and the churches over the top with their golden interiors and vibrant congregations, it is the strolls down the side streets that are most enlightening. Our guide took us off the beaten track, and I am so happy that he did. We saw the small shops, the street people, the indigenous peoples selling everything imaginable for just a few cents or dollars and the real people of Quito going about their daily business. Oh yes, we all heard about the pickpockets operating there, but with the same attention to belongings that one needs to use in any large US city, don't hesitate to stray onto the smaller streets of Old Town with your eyes and your mind open. You will be changed forever as a result.
石板路两旁是西班牙殖民时期的建筑,有些高大雄伟,有些深藏不露,静静地诉说着殖民时期的辉煌。夜晚我们从餐厅走出来(老街上有一家像剧院一样的餐馆环境味道都不错),远远听到有高亢嘹亮的歌声,走近发现是清冷的基多老街上为上帝歌唱的当地妇女,身着彩色长袍,头发梳成土著人的样子,歌唱完毕很快离开,只留下空气里的余音,很有南美风情。从教堂门口的小广场往山上看,可以看到立着的圣母像,是当地人的信仰。
While visiting the capital of Ecuador you must also visit he old town, architecture will wake your senses as well as the native people earning a living.
lots of churches and old building was very nice and most areas felt safe it was just one or two areas that probably best not to walk around especially at night, we had no problems taking photos at this beautiful city though. and at night it is very beautiful with the churches lit up.
I liked the facades that have been restored, the amazing churches packed with gold, and the squares. We stayed in two bijou hotels that were great: El Relicario del Carmen and the Casona de la Ronda. The only downside of Quito old town is the exhaust from the buses which is filthy.
