What you’ll do
In a portside city bursting with history, see ten of the best sights (with a little help from your host!), like the incomprehensibly big fortress the San Felipe Castle, with a monument on its outskirts honoring a Spanish admiral. Behind the Old Town's mighty walls, see the loud-and-proud city's watchful eye the yellow Clock Tower, and take your pick of surrounding landmarks, like the lively Plaza de Los Coches with vendors selling everything from sweets to a phone call, to the busy Plaza de la Paz and its El Camellón de Los Mártires statue, honoring independence soldiers. Brighten your day with a peek at the candy-pink theatre Teatro Heredia, and feel the bustle in Plaza Santo Domingo, sprinkled with Botero sculptures and foot-stamping buskers.
