With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that San Salvador, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Monumento al Salvador del Mundo, La Gran Via Shopping Center and Metrocentro. Located 40 miles away, San Miguel is another popular destination. If you swing by, make sure you check out Metrocentro San Miguel, Medalla Milagrosa Church and Museo Regional de Oriente.
