9 de Octubre
The main thoroughfare of the Downtown area, 9 de Octubre, is definitely worth a stroll, even if you're not shopping, if only to experience the commercial vibrancy of the city.

Las Peñas & Cerro Santa Ana
These two historic neighborhoods have been refurbished into an idealized version of a quaint South American hillside village, all brightly painted homes and cobblestone alleyways. If you peek inside an open door or window, however, you realize it's a bit of a Potemkin village that's not entirely sanitized as residents still live their everyday lives as they would elsewhere in the city.

Numa Pompillo Llona
This historic street is named after the guayaquileño (1832-1907) who wrote the national anthem. Narrow and winding, it has several unobtrusive plaques set into the walls of some houses, indicating the simple residences of past presidents. The colonial wooden architecture has been allowed to age elegantly, albeit with a gloss of paint. It's a dead-end street, so you get to see everything twice.
