Cusco is not only Machu Picchu. The 'navel of the world' offers fun night activities in the city . The energy is felt not only history, but also by the vibe of revelry.

Moisés Márquez Trejo

The first impression is the CLEANLINESS OF Cusco’s Historical Center!!! And then the size and magnificence of the Plaza de Armas. The wooden balconies are just beautiful!!!

ARCP

I like coming here with my toddler as he loves wandering around and I can sit down while he plays. He likes the fountain too! Also nice to sit on a surrounding balcony and look out onto the plaza .

Majed Alashari

The biggest & main plaza in Cusco. Surround by the cathedral and many shops. Sitting there and watching people is really enjoyable.

Werther Veulemans

You can do some great deals here while buying cigarettes from street vendors. Double check if the cigarettes they sell come from Bolivia, if so, max price is 10soles for Marlboro.

Melisa Manrique

Most of the times is busy but it is a great spot to observe the dynamics of this melting pot city .

In Inca times the plaza called Huacaypataun was twice as large as it is today. It was the Heart of Inca Cusco and remains the heart of the modern city .

Daniel Fernandez

Great views of cusco architecture , opportunity to buy small souvenirs from a large number of street merchants

Carlos Potter

They have to emphasize the Inca origin and belittle the Spanish influence for turistic reasons. Fair enough. The truth is that the old part o this city Is extremely Spanish. Looks like a Spanish city .

Sean Howell

Many great restaurants overlooking the plaza at night

Zach West

Grab a drink or lunch in any of the restaurants with balcony seating overlooking the plaza .

Trent Blomfield

Visit the cathedral . It's worth it even if you're not a church person.

Alistair Buchanan

Remember that there are cars driving around on the old cobble stone road , so cross @ the crosswalks.

Eduardo Rodriguez

Avoid the vista tour , the tours in the double deckers. Expensive and must of the tour is spend going to one place.

Patrick Loonstra

Always visit the mail plaza of a village and city . So, here no difference.

Ceviche was delicious!

Beautiful place. Starbucks, MC Donald's and KFC is all around.

New Year's celebration here is a must-do. Don't forget your fireworks and yellow underwear

Watch out for the old ladies that try to pass a baby goat for a llama or alpaca. You'll get ripped off. If you decide to take a picture with it pay 1 sol. They'll try to take you for 5 sol.
