But despite the danger of its location, the capital remains undisturbed. Except for a couple of neighborhoods to the east of the city, San Salvador is a truly welcoming and friendly place. Join Free Walking Tours in San Salvador for a chance to stroll around the main sights safely and in the company of a friendly local guide. If you have just arrived in the country, we recommend the Essential San Salvador City Tour.
