Pretty neighborhood not too far from the Plaza de Armas with some restaurants and art studios. . There are many steep steps here and many of the streets are pedestrian only. You can see some pretty views of Cusco from this neighborhood.

The area of San Blas is a great place to wander around. Though it is getting a bit touristy, you can still find relatively quiet streets and even the main square is quaint enough to sit in and enjoy a meal or drink.

San Blas is a neighborhood of Cusco. Cusco is basically built in a whole, surrounded by hills and mountains and San Blas is on one of them. Thus the streets are steep and you get great views of the city.
But the charm of San Blas imho is the architecture (charming little small white houses), and the narrow typical streets. It's also full of churches, galleries, and charming B&Bs. Also, don't miss the San Blas church. You can (and should) spend a whole day wandering San Blas, if you have it.

You can sightsee around San Blas, which is located on a hilly part in the heart of Cusco. It offers various artist galleries and has a nice eclectic feel to the area.

If you are looking for the alternative Cuzco, this beautifull neightbourhood is your place.
Take Triunfo street in Plaza de Armas and walk for 5 minutes. Don't miss that!!!
