Plaza de San Francisco
Best time to visit
Posjetite rano ujutro između 9 i 11 sati kako biste izbjegli školske grupe i najjaču sunčevu svjetlost. Nedjeljom ujutro doživjet ćete trg nakon mise s punom lokalnom atmosferom.
Budget tips
Trg, predprostor i crkva su besplatni za ulazak. Samostan i muzej koštaju oko 5-7 USD, često uključujući vodiča, a možete uštedjeti kupovinom kombinirane karte za nekoliko crkava starog grada.

About
Quick facts: The church behind the square is the city's oldest colonial building, and construction dragged on for more than 130 years. On the square, which lies 2,800 meters above sea level, women sell seed to massive flocks of pigeons, a ritual you can experience every single morning.
Highlights: Beneath the square's paving lie the remains of the Inca ruler Huayna Capac's residence, a clear trace of the conquest that shaped the city. Behind the wide facade awaits one of the continent's largest monastery complexes with around 30,000 square meters, gold-leaf altars, and hundreds of Baroque sculptures.
Insider tips
- Ponesite laganu jaknu, jer temperatura na visini može varirati za nekoliko stepeni.
- Jutarnje sunce pogađa fasadu crkve direktno između 8 i 10 sati, pa se tu postavite za najbolje fotografije.
- Uštedite vrijeme u muzeju ako ste u žurbi, a umjesto toga provedite pola sata na terasi na krovu samostana, gdje je pogled na trg najbolji.
- Ponesite sitne novčanice, jer prodavači na štandovima i djevojke koje prodaju sjeme rijetko mogu dati kusur za velike novčanice.
