San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, is a city full of contrast — where modern renewal meets deep-rooted history. Once known for high crime rates, it has been undergoing dramatic transformation in recent years. In this video, we explore the heart of the city and take a closer look at what San Salvador is really like today.
We visit the Centro Histórico, the city’s historic center, home to significant landmarks, vibrant public spaces, and a growing sense of revitalization. Among the places featured are the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador and the unique Iglesia El Rosario — two iconic churches that showcase very different architectural styles and historical backgrounds.
Not far away, we check out the National Library of El Salvador, a striking example of modern design that stands out in the colonial landscape. We also stop by the National Palace of El Salvador, an important government building that played a key role in the country’s political history and now serves as a museum open to the public.
As the video moves through the city, we highlight different sides of San Salvador — from the busy local markets and lesser-known neighborhoods, to the upscale Zona Rosa district with its polished streets, boutique cafes, and international companies.
We also touch on practical info for travelers, such as where to stay, how to get around, safety observations, and the local currency. Whether you’re considering San Salvador for a future trip, or simply curious about what the capital city looks like today, this video aims to give you a well-rounded overview without the usual stereotypes.
El Salvador is a country going through major change, and San Salvador is right at the center of it. From restored landmarks to newer attractions, this is a city that feels in motion — layered, complex, and very much worth a closer look.
If you’re planning to travel through Central America, or just want to see what life in El Salvador’s capital is like today, this vlog is for you.
