Palacio de Carondelet
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
Early morning, before 10 AM, when the cobblestone streets are closed to traffic and the midday sun hasn't yet made the square too hot. Avoid major national holidays, when the balconies and the square fill up for official ceremonies.
Tips anggaran
Free access to the square itself, and the public areas offer plenty of atmosphere without an entrance fee. Choose a tour with the Spanish tourist guide, which is cheaper than private tours, and then head up to the rooftop terrace by buying a combination ticket for the nearby museums.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Istana presiden memiliki 260 ruangan, tetapi pengunjung hanya diizinkan melihat sebagian kecil darinya. Lampu gantung kristal yang tak terhitung banyaknya dan langit-langit yang dicat tangan menunjukkan usianya melalui berbagai renovasi, dan bangunan itu terletak di jalan pejalan kaki tertua di Quito.
Sorotan: Parade penjaga di depan gedung itu bukan sekadar upacara formal: ketika waktu menunjukkan saatnya, para garda berbaris seirama dengan lalu lintas pagi Andes yang ramai dan suara klakson mobil. Di teras atap, kamu bisa berdiri berhadapan dengan tiga gunung berapi, Pichincha, Cotopaxi, dan Antisana, serta melihat kota membentang sejauh 360 derajat.
Tips orang dalam
- Bring a scarf or jacket, even if the morning is sunny, because the sun quickly disappears behind the volcano in the afternoon.
- The best photo angle is from Parque Seminario looking east, where the green trees make the white facades light up.
- Look for the hidden wooden balconies on the side streets, which most tourists hurry past without noticing.
- Keep an eye on the changing of the guard at the ceremonial entrances, it happens every hour and offers a glimpse of military precision.
