For decades, San Salvador was reputed to be dirty and dangerous - a legacy of the country's civil war. But times have changed, and today El Salvador's largest city offers swanky hotels, upscale galleries, diverse dining options and a thumping nightlife.

Book a private San Salvador tour and get a local's view of this vibrant and fast-paced city.

Grab your morning java at a café in the Centro Historico. El Salvador's economy runs on coffee - meaning the best beans are often exported - so ask your guide to sniff out locally grown brew, lest you end up sipping Nescafe. Head to the Metropolitan Cathedral where your guide can show you the tomb of Oscar Romero, the priest assassinated for denouncing government repression during the conflict.

On San Salvador's streets, pupusas - corn pancakes stuffed with beans, cheese, and pork - reign supreme, so ask your guide for their favorite spot. Fruit juice sellers are ubiquitous, but hygiene standards vary, so seek recommendations before imbibing.
