The best areas

Plaza de Armas

An easy walk to the Cathedral, Qorikancha and San Pedro Market, though it is the most visited part of the city.

Hotels in Plaza de Armas

San Blas

The artisans' quarter with views over the center; its steep cobbled lanes are hard work at altitude.

Hotels in San Blas

Ollantaytambo

A Sacred Valley town with Inca-era streets and the Machu Picchu trains, but about 2 hours by road from Cusco.

Hotels in Ollantaytambo

Machu Picchu Pueblo

The closest town to the citadel, with restaurants, hot springs and the buses up, and every Machu Picchu visitor passes through.
