This is a unique, historical city with great restaurants and lots to explore! Definitely spend time here before gift to Machu Picchu, to adjust to the altitude and relax into the Peruvian atmosphere. Jack's restaurant and Jill's are good and close!

I was in Cusco for 3 days and wish I had at least 6 to explore everything. This was my favorite stop in all of Peru! If you can, take extra time here to explore, but also give yourself a few days to acclimate to the elevation before any big hikes.

I believe many people visit Cusco before/after they visit Macchu Picchu, but Cusco has a lot to offer, too. I enjoyed visiting Pre Columbian Museum and the view from Mirador de San Cristobal was amazing. The restaurants were excellent as well.

Cusco is a beautiful city with lots to see and do. If planning to see many of the sites, get the integral tourist ticket and I would recommend a taxi up to Saccsayhuaman or Q'enqo and can walk down. Don't miss Sacred Valley as well.

Cusco is a very special city. The landscape is beautiful and the history is fascinating. It's a fairly peaceful town with lots of good vibrations. I can understand why the Incan Empire chose it for their Kings!

There's a lot of history in and around Cusco. It's worth taking a few tours. The square really came alive at night. We felt very safe walking around day or night. Cusco is a very clean city.

We hope to return to Cusco one day. It's a wonderful city with beautiful scenery, amazing food and art and a lovely, festive feel.
"Very beautiful property with Spanish court yard, only 6-7 walk to the main square, breakfast and very friendly staff standing by 24 hrs. A lot of nice restaurants just around the corner."
"The staff were super kind, especially Rodrigo. Since we had an early tour and couldn’t stay for breakfast, they thoughtfully prepared sandwiches, fruit, and water for us to take along. Truly appreciated their hospitality!"
"Two of us stayed at this beautiful place for 3 nights and couldn’t be more happy with it! After a long day trekking, coming to a room that had a rainfall shower head and fluffy sheets was truly the perfect way to unwind. The service was excellent and was very accommodating to anything we needed. The location could not be more ideal - it is placed within a block of nightlife or the Plaza de Armas where there are many beautiful and delicious dining options with views of the Cathedral. The decor was welcoming and beautiful with hot tea or coffee awaiting you to heat you up from the cold . We cannot recommend it enough !"
Palacio del Inka, A Luxury Collection Hotel by Marriott
10/10 Excellent
"This historic property is in fact a museum and a 5-star luxury hotel located across the street from the must see Qorikancha. Our experience was outstanding. Hot tea in the lobby. A baby lima in the plaza by the restaurant. Outstanding service with people waiting to assist you everywhere you go. The restaurant provides excellent food, with lovely, soothing live music. The buffet breakfasts had all the high quality offerings one could hope for. The room was plush and luxurious (even if a bit small), with beds one sinks into, plush first rate robes, towels, bedding and pillows, hot showers. Don't miss the free tour of the hotel at 5p, done by a very accomplished young man who provided a lot of information one would not have gotten otherwise. It ended with a moving Inka ceremony of music and dance. After 10 days in a series of nice but simple hotels in Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, it was nice to enjoy the comforts of the Palacio for 3 nights, while seeing the sights in Cusco."
