Colonial Quito
Colonial Quito is one of the world’s first World Heritage sites named by UNESCO. It offers the old world European style with Latin America cultural charm. Quito has the largest and most undisturbed Colonial area in Latin America. Its unique mix of Renaissance and Republican era art and architecture make it one of the "must sees" in the world. Colonial Quito is in the process of a restoration and offers newly refurbished museums, restaurants, and theatres that would rival any in the world. Quito is a great walking city, especially on Sundays when the entire Colonial area is pedestrian and bicycle only.
