Plaza de Armas Arequipa

One of the nicest Plaza de Armas I have seen so far. It is very clean, the view is great, the surrounding buildings are all nicely made and fit in well. The police are also there and look for any pesky delinquents. During the day and at night it is very busy and many people stay there as it's a nice place to chill out!

The main plaza in the historic Arequipa downtown is beautiful. We visited here both during daytime and in the evening, and it’s always beautiful. It’s also just a short walk to the Santa Catalina Monastery, so visitors can plan the visit together.

This is a must see place in Arequipa. It's a great place to sit on a bench and just enjoy the space. I would recommend visiting the artisan shops inside and getting a meal at one of the rooftop restaurants around sunset.

The Plaza de Armas Arequipa is very safe, peaceful, and beautiful. There is always a lot of police present at this location. You will also see reduced car traffic most of the times, but the plaza is filled with the usual busy crowd of those who are trying to make a buck and the tourists. Expect some souvenir selling activities or selling of tourist packages.

Beautiful place, the Cathedral is big, built of sillar (vulcan's stone) and the others buildings around. Very clean and nice weather all time.

Really a huge and beautiful main square, great place to hang around. Also a lot of activity during day and night.
Unfortunately also quite touristy which results in people trying to sell you many things, legal and less legal. Very annoying.

They say Arequipa is the gun pointed at Lima. I didn’t find it to be that exactly. The plaza is a great example of the white volcanic rock masonry.

Such a great park. Me and my pals went here and had a splendid time. My friend has some drone shots of the park and they are magnificent. There was a lady selling ice creams in the park and my brother had a crush on her. I will be coming back to this park to see if I can set them up. Great park would recommend.

Beautiful central square of the city of Arequipa. It's main attraction is the iconic Basilic Cathedral of Arequipa, one of the most iconic cathedrals in the country whose construction dates since the Spanish colonization of Peru. Different concerts and cultural events takes place during the year. You can view the agenda of these events at the city of Arequipa"s website.

Worth visiting. A very beautiful park. Surrounded by arched buildings and the cathedral. Beautiful landscaping. Lots of restaurants and cafes around. You can easily find some ladies selling queso helado.

This plaza is beautiful. The center park is full of green lush areas with mature trees and floral gardens. There is always some sort of activity taking place. During the late afternoon and into the evening there are many small cart vendors offering food and small gift items. The roads leading into the plaza are lined with restaurants and clothing stores. Make sure to visit during daylights and nighttime as the atmosphere completely changes.

This is a beautiful plaza in Arequipa. There are a lot of restaurants there, travel agencies to organise a tour and a big and beautiful artisanal market where you can by great souvenirs.

Definitely one of the most beautiful architecture from that sad period of colonization. This square is just elegant and wonderful at the same time. The mountains and volcanos around the city are even more dramatic and wonderful. There is always worth visiting this place. Day or night, winter or summer. Just anytime. Thank you 🌞

Beautiful square in Arequipa. We enjoyed sitting here and taking in the moment. Also great for photos 🙌

Great main square, with lots of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. Lots of things are walking distance from here, and can be reached in 2-15 minutes.

Beautiful square - one of the most beautiful I have seen in South America. I love that there are no cars and it is not filled with street vendors. You can walk around here without being attacked by sellers.
The church is amazing and the buildings on the other 3 sides are a perfect match to the square.

Lovely centerpiece for the city sometimes with special events being held there. Many options for dining and shopping nearby.

Definitely recommend visiting this plaza if you’re in town. Gorgeous colonial architecture and plenty of events, vendors, restaurants in or around it.

Beautiful park with ancient structures and museum. If you're interested in the history of the Catholic church in Arequipa, then do well to visit the museum. Tourists endeavour to visit this place. There are so many incredible stories told about this park and the surrounding buildings. I do hope you'll have fun. Added a few photos for your perusal.
