Centro Histórico & Plazuela Machado
Centro Histórico / Plazuela Machado
A colonial old town from the port's prosperous 19th century, with colourful buildings around Machado Square, plus open-air restaurants and street music.
The old town preserves hundreds of 19th-century neoclassical buildings and is designated a national historic monuments zone. The heart of the district, Plazuela Machado, is shaded by trees and surrounded by colourful porticoes, cafés, galleries, and open-air restaurants, with live music often playing in the evenings. From the square, you can walk to the Ángela Peralta Theatre, the cathedral, and the Central Market. Security is generally good in tourist areas, but it is still advisable to stick to main streets at night.
