What people say

"The Plaza de Armas is actually quite a small plaza with a gazebo in the center. There are people walking through here all day and evening and it is usually full. There are benches surrounding the plaza where you can sit and relax. It is surrounded by colonial-era buildings and is home to the city's Cathedral and the Government Palace on two sides. The square is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike, and is a hub of activity with vendors, street performers, and events throughout the year. There are often art installations in or near the plaza. Often they house artwork leftover from various festivals in this plaza for a little while."
