Beautiful views all round. Amazing vibe especially in the evenings. We loved the ancient cathedrals and cobbled streets

Cusco is an amazing city! Which such an incredible history! Plaza de Armas is like a central place of the old town, its a very charming place although it’s difficult to relax there as you are being asked every 15 seconds if you want to buy something.

This is a free plaza to visit and is basically the center of Cusco. It has beautiful buildings all around and many shops and restaurants. Flowers here are very pretty. Unfortunately you're going to have a hard time enjoying yourself thanks to vendors heckling you. You'll be offered jewelery, massages, "original" paintings, and trips to many ruins at least ten times trying to cross the plaza. It's unfortunate that you can't just sit and be left alone. Expect to also see many police officers in the area.

This is one of the coolest plazas you'll see in the world. Worth time spending and checking restaurants and cafes around it. Just don't get fished by the painters 😂 they all work for the same entity... Probably!

Small little town with the cuties bridge you have to paid 2 soles to be able to cross over and take pictures

Cusco is one of the most beautiful cities in Peru, and the main square is right in the heart of the downtown area. Both daytime and evening views are wonderful, and we enjoyed visiting the cathedrals & having meals in nearby restaurants. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and historic plaza. It stunning in the day but even better at night. The lights around the town glisten like stars, it’s honestly mesmerising. There is a lot of seating available. There are also many vendors who will approach you, some selling scarves are quite persistent but rest are fine and respect if you decline.

Beautiful and serene plaza, amazing atmosphere and a great place to relax or take a walk. Many great restaurants and shops in the area.

Cusco is one of my favourite cities in the world. So much creativity and beauty. But also safe and peaceful. There are always amazing markets and celebrations going on. It really is an amazing place.

Beautiful Cuzco Main Square. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants around the square and great views up to the mountains all around. We’ll worth a visit when in Cuzco - in fact you’d find it hard not to!

Beautiful plaza! There are plenty of benches to sit and people watch. Note: there are many people advertising restaurants, massages, art, souvenirs, tours, etc. They’re just doing their jobs. Be kind.

Good food, good shopping. Cathedral is amazing. Only wish we could take pictures & video inside (not allowed). Great place to acclimate to the elevation before hiking Machu Picchu!

Yes, this is one of the most beautiful places in the whole country. At least to me. It's worth going here as many times as possible. There is always something interesting that will catch my eye. Doesn't matter if is it early in the morning, during noon, or late at night. Just go there and you will see it on your own 🤩 Thank you 💙

Cusco is magical and wonderful. This square feels like the heart of the city and it is fun seeing people just enjoying life in Cusco at any time of the day. There are a TON of vendors trying to sell stuff. We were there during a celebration and people were just smiling and dancing to the live music. Plaza de armas is amazing. Take it in while you are there.

I had a great experience at Cusco Main Square. Despite it being quite crowded, I found the place to be charming and filled with numerous restaurant options and delightful souvenir shops. While it might be a bit on the expensive side, the quality of souvenirs makes it worthwhile. I noticed there’s an option to visit the cathedral, although I didn’t have the chance this time. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for leisurely walks, taking pictures, and picking up souvenirs. You can also enjoy a decent lunch or dinner at one of the nearby restaurants. Surprisingly, despite its central location, the area felt very safe, making it an ideal spot for tourists to gather and explore. Don’t miss the chance to soak in the vibrant atmosphere and take a leisurely stroll around Cusco Main Square.

Beautiful and historical place in Cusco Peru. Very lovely , large open space in downtown Cusco. You see a lot of historical buildings and churches. Be prepared to walk along cobblestones. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in Cusco Peru.

Historic square with a lively mix of locals and tourists enjoying the fresh air. A lot of street vendors, some are more aggressive than others but most will leave you alone if you tell them no twice.

Beautiful historic place with lots of vistas nearby. Must visit. Make sure to carry a poncho or rain jacket when visiting.. the rain is very dynamic.

I love Cuzco. It is full of history. The roads are paved with cobblestone mostly. Be ready for many hills and beauty of the past and colours of the art that leaks through centuries. If you like history, you will like this town. It was the longest I have stayed in a city in Peru.

The square has a beautiful place, but pay attention to local residents’ promotions, including massages, shoe shines, souvenir sales, etc.; they will attract you with a relatively low price and then charge you higher fees.

Great place. We experimented today the carnival day : be careful and protect yourself if you visit on this special day ;-)

Historical churches. Good place to get some snaps of your trip. Walk around the plaza and you will be bombarded by the folks trying to get you in for food, massage, and coffee. Experience one or multiple of them. It's going to be some local comfort food. Acclimation of elevation is real.

This was a great spot to go walk around at night in Cusco. Plenty of food options, lots of sights to see, and plenty of photos to take. The area felt secure. We had a group of ten that had some issues finding seating for dinner since most of the dining areas were fairly small, but that was to be expected. Great first night in Cusco!

The plaza is surrounded by Churches, Basilica, Temples, and plenty of restaurants. We were fortunate to experience the pre New Years festivities, with singing and performances in the square. If you get a chance, visit the Basilica and Cathedral. They were just beautiful.

Great place. I bit hectic because their festival is coming up (June 21), but a great time. So fun seeing little kids playing in the streets and the Cuzco flag everywhere. Only downside is that there are a lot of people trying to sell you stuff a bit forcefully.

Plaza Mayor de Cusco is naturally the go to place for most tourists visiting Cusco. It is surrounded by beautiful churches and museums. There is constantly traffic and road crossing can be difficult for visitors. You will encounter those selling tourist packages, those who wants to shine your shoes, and both local Peruvians and tourists here. Don't forget to pick up a BTC for those museum visits.

Very busy . Lots of festivals and lot of people. An incredible fun plaza square! Plenty of shops, bar and restaurants around the square and great views up to the mountains all around.

A great place to sit down and relax and watch the work go by. You can also by artworks, sunglasses and other items from passersby if you need anything. Great opportunities to photograph alpacas roaming the streets with their shepherds too.

This is like the center of town for Cusco. The best restaurants and shows are all around here. I really like the vibe here with all the people and tourists and stores and restaurants. Just a note, the clothing and alapaca wool stores are a little overpriced here. The restaurants here are more expensive but are also very good.

A beautiful square. The buildings around are very typical for the colonial style and on two of the sides there are two of the important churches. But what really is interesting is that the square is part of the original Inca city.

What an incredible, fun plaza square! The people are fun and the celebrations are so cool. Cuzco Peruvians are proud of their heritage and show it in so many ways. There are lots of shops, restaurants, and vendors down every street. This was a safe and fun place to hang out all day and shop, eat, or just walk around and people-watch!

Such a great weekend in Cusco. Must visit if you can, highly recommended. Narrow streets, old with inca energy. The main square with cathedral and park is a work of magic, like I was in another world.

Very busy, especially at this time, late October. Lots of festivals and a lot of people. Almost like a pickpockets dream. It is nice though. It's low and you look up and can see everything. Lots to eat all around, a lot of money changing spots (they do not accept Scottish money), lots of tourism offices and a great deal of pharmacies around.

Very relaxed park in the centre although you do receive a procession of street sellers hawking goods. They are good natured and drift off with a simple no and smile. It is very busy with locals at night. Lots of good restaurants.

Very nice (safe) area to walk out in the city and see the wonderful history there. This is the best area of Cusco to stay in if you are spending several days touring the surrounding area. The ONLY drawback is that some people can't handle the 11,400 foot elevation there.

Beautiful square at the heart of Cusco. Amazing architecture, lots of cafes and restaurants. But, prepared to be approached by people trying to sell you things if you're a tourist.

Lively place to visit and traffic free at night. Felt very safe and enjoyed just wandering aimlessly up steep roads and paths that seem to make up this city. Lots of history and tiny back lanes. Then use Google to get you back to your hotel.

One of the most beautiful squares in Latin America, so is the city itself. Surrounded by Colonial Spanish buildings with intricately carved balconies and two cathedrals, the manicured greenery in the center is a picturesque contrast and an ensemble that is unique in Peru.

Main town square of Cusco with fantastic architecture with great restaurants and bars lining the plaza. Definitely visit here and snap some photos and eat a meal!

Beautiful, especially as the sunset descends into nightfall and the twinkling lights of the city start to sparkle on the hill. From the mountain view to the glowing plaza bustling with life, to the peaceful seating area in the middle, this is one of the prettiest plazas I’ve been to—the atmosphere is incredible. Also, it’s full of life (dogs, vendors, even shoe shiners) during the day and there are so many restaurant options. Benches available if you need to rest, too!

Monumental historical buildings rising around and atmosphere which is so much alive .. people dancing, playing instruments, trading, chatting around ...

Cusco is a beautiful city. I definitely recommend visiting. They are many great restaurants and unique hotels. Personally, I recommend the JW Marriott. Lots of wonderful, unique architecture. The Main Square is nice. Although it can be packed with tourists. I think anyone who visits Cuzco should visit.
