Being the country's political and cultural center, it takes up one-third of El Salvador's population and one-half of the country's wealth. The majority of the country‘s corporations are located in the city and that being said, it is a very important financial hub of Central America. With its wide boulevards and narrow streets, roadside stalls, churches, museums, exciting nightlife, it can be described as a modern and hectic city.
All year round, the weather is hot, being around 27 °C, and the coolest period of about 22.2 °C lasts from November to February. Except for its weather, San Salvador is also praised for its perfect location. It has proximity to both the ocean and mountains.
We stayed at María José Suites which was in a really really nice location. It is close to the San Salvador Bicentennial Park and the nearest airport.
El Salvador has a reputation for being dangerous and you might be asking yourself "is El Salvador safe?" and I'm sure people have told you never to come here. Well, we felt safe the whole time we were there. We took Uber to get around and visited all the highlights in the downtown area of San Salvador.
