For me one day was perfect to see the entire city.
For me one day was perfect to see the entire city. **Caution** the city can be dangerous to walk around at night especially around the bus station. At first I didn’t believe it I walked to the hostel at night no problem didn’t feel threatened at all. Next day I knew two females who were walking by the bus station and guy on a motor bike drove by snatching the bags from the ladies. They went to the police the police said you’re tourist and should be more careful. Nothing was done about the robery.

Safe and clean,modern where it should be, no slums.wonderful colonial district. City Traffic is an issue. Beaches are an hour drive out of the city. Prices are moderate. No English spoken anywhere. Use Google translate.

Great City!
Great City! Colonial zone is a must. Stay there for your whole trip, you won’t be dissapointed. You can go to the financial district or down town for a couple of hours on a chosen day, but you must stay in the colonial zone!

It’s a very busy polluted city.
It’s a very busy polluted city... I acquired a cough during my stay from all the fumes from the cars, trucks & motorcycles because I did a lot of walking around feeding the street dogs. I had a rental car but found driving there way too stressful. I’m from Chicago so I know how to city drive but this was something else lol...

I will give a 5 stars rating without any doubts.”
