Things to Do in Quito

Quito is a big city and offers visitors an abundance of activities. If you have to visit only one museum, make it the Museo del Banco Central, which offers detailed exhibits on Ecuador’s pre-Colombian inhabitants.

Don’t stay indoors all day! The crown jewel of Quito is its gorgeous Old Town. Here you can take in the colonial architecture, explore pretty plazas and see churches galore. Make a point to stop by the local vendor stalls where you’ll find artisans offering silver works, ceramics, wood carvings and guitars.

Feel the pulse of the night coming on? Take the Teleferico—the world’s second-highest cable car—back to your Quito accommodation to change. Then it’s time to make your way to La Mariscal quarter. Here you’ll meet up with a mix of tourists and locals, all ready to gobble down an amazing meal at the bountiful restaurants and then hit the ever-present bars and clubs.

Soar into the Aeropuerto Internacional Mariscal Sucre (UIO), located 18 km from Quito. Take the bus or a taxi from the airport into the city. You can easily flag down a low-cost taxi almost anywhere in the city to take you to the tourist hot spots.
