Its nothing more than a public park, but its a nice relatively safe hangout if you get bore at night and want some fresh air: its open, i think all night, the latest Ive been there is 3 AM and theres people hanging out. There are a few restaurants nearby but they closed early. I go because it gives my 4 year old a chance to hangout in an open space which is not very easy to find in the city.

The Plaza Salvador del Mundo , formerly called "Plaza Las Américas", which contains the Monument to the Divine Savior of the World , is located in the city of San Salvador , El Salvador . It is considered a national symbol of this country.The structure was designed by architect Carlos Varahona Villaseñor , and consists of the figure of Christ , patron saint of the country, on a globe that is in turn mounted on a pedestal. At first the image adorned the tomb of Dr. Manuel Enrique Araujo , president of the republic at the beginning of the 20th century . The presidents family presented the image to the Archbishop of San Salvador Monsignor Luis Chávez y González on the occasion of the First National Eucharistic Congress in 1942 , which in turn coincided with the commemoration of the first centenary of the erection of the Diocese of San Salvador, Archdiocese today . was unveiled onNovember 26 of that year. In fact, from this square, one of the four main roads that surround it, the road that corresponds to the southwest of it, is called Alameda Manuel Enrique Araujo, in homage to the much-loved president in the second decade of the 20th century.

The park is not controlled very well so its basically just at one giant skatepark. Nothing against skateboarders but its overwhelming on a Sunday. Other days of the week its not as full but its difficult for it to be family-friendly with the amount of sports going on at the same time. Also, most areas that could be used for seating are used for skating. The city needs to create a designated skate park considering there are none available.

Beautiful park to walk around. It would be nice if they added parking space. Some local stores charging $10 just for parking.

I went here because it is characteristic for the city, but I cant say it is nice. It is actually pretty ugly and due to the traffic it is also not a place to relax and enjoy.

Its very nice and clean. A very beautiful spot to have a walk, see sunsets or just hangout with friends or family but keep in mind if you go during the day there is no place to stay where the sun wont burn you.

It’s a square where the statue of Jesus as the savior of the world is located. Surrouing the square are various restaurants, many of themNorth American chains.Also, of interests for tourist is the local bus station nearby the square offering a direct line across San Salvador to the Terminal Plaza Amanecer bus station where buses make frequent runs to, among other destinations, San Miguel.

An iconic place here in El Salvador, in the heart of San Salvador. El Salvador del mundo is a place where to meet others, where to enjoy the breeze and the wind blowing your hair, specifically at night where the lights of the buildings make it very enjoyable.

This was a good stop at night. Its nice that they add Christmas lights for the holidays. They also have official vendors selling food and hot drinks. The unofficial vendors are a little annoying.

It is a must visit place if you are visiting San Salvador. Symbol of pride and freedom of the country. There are many hang out restaurants around it. Many skate boarders you can find in the evening as even you dont practice, you gonna love to watch them in action. At night, it is one of the most happening place during weekends. Worth to give a try.

Lugar perfecto para ir con niños, seguridad casi todo el día, restaurantes cerca, lugar muy sano (Perfect place to visit with the family, theres a lot of restaurants around there, and something really important is that security is almost the whole day there)

I was there at night, its like a park, no bathroom available at the site, at they time might be tu sunny like at noon time for exemple. A Mcdonalds restaurant is right there on the other side of the street. O yes the place is in between a trafic road circle. Safe place has comunity vigilancy or gurds.

National monument dedicated to Jesus, the Savior. Great place to chill and take pictures. Heavily guarded by the local military police, is a venue for street artists, local food and skaters.

Loved it! Soldiers on duty are not allowed to take pictures with you, but if you ask maybe they will let you take one with the hummer. Large plaza, a bit tricky to get to and find parking.

Nice beautiful place, specially during the Christmas period. Most important national events will take place here, or either start or finish here, so keep that in mind when visiting. Its an important national monument and one of the few opened spaces to hang around.

No shades, is a great place to practice skate boarding or just to watch it, nice view of one of most representative monuments of Salvadorian culture, cons: no water, no much seats, close to the main street and it cause you to have the traffic noise all time

The monument is nice, highly recommended during the day. During the night I only suggest you show for special events. During the holidays it gets very lively. Go calmly but always be weary.

It can get really busy ! It’s the center of a traffic circle or ‘round about. There is some shopping and eats in the area. Clearly the weather affects your visit and there can be “pop up” demonstrations of various causes. As a tourist, may be best to circle ‘round and come back later. It is a MUST SEE spot tho’.
