10 Shopping in San Salvador That You Shouldn't Miss

June 23, 2021 Darleen Reid

El Salvador's capital, San Salvador, is a modern city of wide boulevards and narrow streets, outdoor markets, government buildings, high-rises, monuments, an exuberant nightlife, museums and other cultural institutions. And all set against the backdrop of San Salvador volcano. The city is surrounded by shantytowns as well as affluent suburbs with restaurants and large shopping malls. Peaceful settings such as the botanic garden of Parque Cuscutlan provide a break from the city's hectic pace.

Reviewed By Yolipdx - Portland, United States

Visited last month with my family. El Árbol de Dios is an institute, gallery and gift shop. We had the pleasure of speaking with the artist and watching them work during our visit. The gallery displays the most beautiful work and many pieces are very affordable, too. We left very impressed and happy with the entire experience.

Mercado Nacional de Artesanias

Reviewed By Eldereaglewatcher - Chippewa Falls, United States

We visit El Salvador annually and always take our groups to this mercado for souvenirs and gifts. It's small enough to navigate easily, and the vendors are friendly if a little aggressive in trying to get you into see their merchandise. You can barter for better prices or a discount on multiple items. It's fun. Most of the vendors accept cash only and no bills larger than $20, so be aware of that before you go. A must see if you want to shop outside a more formal mall or at the airport.
