What to do and see in San Salvador, San Salvador Department: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
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.

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.

Small but rich in culture. We enjoyed the galleries and exhibitions. The entrance fee was less than $3.00 which covered the entire museum. There is a restaurant in the premises as well, can't comment on that as we didn't actually go in. There's also a small gift shop with souvenirs, some cheaper than others. The exhibitions were full of culture and history, with local artists work. The civil war years exhibition was filled with nostalgia and a sense of sadness, part of our history. A small suggestion : it would be nice to see a description in other languages for those whose Spanish is not their mother tongue, just so that they could learn too ????... Other that, a wonderful place, loved it...

A very pleasant surprise! This museum is a real jewel in San Salvador. You have a very interesting collection of precolombian artifacts as well as colonial period. Most of the explanations are in spanish and english. Also very interesting the room dedicated to the development of agriculture. Very touching the part dedicated to the civil war. A special thanks to the free guide Adelina who proved to be very professional and prepared on the history of El Salvador. Besides, being a disabled person I really appreciated the barrier-free museum. The only negative point the absence of books about the museum. In any case thumbs up!
