Set in a natural basin and surrounded by volcanoes like the San Salvador Volcano, San Salvador has potential to be beautiful but falls quite short. It is a crumbling explosion of concrete and traffic, and the crime rate is high. Many buildings have been neglected and are in a sad state of ruin.

Nonetheless, San Salvador is located fairly close to many of El Salvador's tourist attractions and can easily be a base for day trips or short overnight trips to nearby beaches , volcanoes and lakes if you choose to stay for a couple of days.
