Plaza 24 de Mayo
Best time to visit
Najljepše je u rano jutro, posebno nedjeljom, kada grad oživi uz pijacu i zvona katedrale. Poslije 15 sati pogodno je za fotografisanje, jer nisko sunce baca dugačke sjene preko pločnika.
Budget tips
Ulaz na trg i u katedralu je besplatan, pa nema posebnih ulaznica ni propusnica. Ponesite sitan novac za štandove, a kafu naručite u kioscima, gdje košta upola manje nego u obližnjim restoranima.

About
Quick facts: At an altitude of over 3,100 meters, this stone plaza served generations as the community's main meeting place. The square is named after the victory at Pichincha on 24 May 1822, and on one side it is closed off by a cathedral with two bell towers, on the other by the old town hall.
Highlights: Every 24 May the square turns into a stage for the celebration of the Battle of Pichincha, with a parade, fireworks, and groups in colorful costumes dancing late into the night. The loveliest detail is the old stone well in the center, around which locals gather from early morning to exchange news and fresh goods.
Insider tips
- Obujte udobne cipele s čvrstim đonom, kameni pločnik je neravan, a visina od 3.100 metara brzo umara.
- Najbolja fotografija katedrale nastaje s istočnog ugla trga poslije 15 sati, kada sunce osvijetli pročelje.
- Nedjeljom dođite prije 9 sati ako želite razgledati pijacu bez gužve i uzeti najsvježiju robu.
- Za miran trenutak uđite u katedralu radnim danom prije podne, kada u unutrašnjosti gotovo da nema drugih posjetilaca.
