Casco Viejo
Perhaps the prettiest place in the city, Casco Viejo is a beautifully preserved and restored section of history. The colonial style buildings, many colored doors, and ornate fixtures are contrasted by the smooth blue skies and nearby seaside.
Statues, plazas, and squares are scattered throughout the district as are vendors selling knick knacks, handicrafts, and souvenirs.
This neighborhood is great for shopping, strolling, and dining. Keep in mind that prices can be quite inflated in this area, but perhaps it is worth the extra pennies for the gorgeous views and relaxed vibe.
