It's hard to tell from its quaint city center how enormous Quito is.  On the steps of Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco, you can see the colorful buildings that cover the hills surrounding the city and get an idea for how large this city is.  #lifeatexpedia

I loved the city and feel I only scratched the surface on what there is to do around there.

4/5 - Good

Mostly felt safe. Great Metropolitano hospital treated my partner for injuries. Lots of taxis. Some turn off meters late at night and try to overcharge. Nice national museum.

Quito was a great place to visit. We liked the customer service experience as they did not make us feel like they were doing us a favor for doing their job, like we have experienced in other countries. We look forward to returning.
