Experience Highlights
- Duration: 3.5 hours
An introductory half day tour visiting the main attractions of Santiago, the country’s most important cultural, cosmopolitan and artistic hub. We start out with a visit to the highlights of the city’s civic centre, such as Cerro San Cristobal hill (a centrally located historic urban park), the La Moneda Palace (presidential offices) and the traditional Plaza de Armas square. Buildings of historical interest can be found in the neighbourhood, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, National Museum of History and Central Post Office.
We later walk through the Parque Forestal, a park running parallel to the Mapocho river with a variety of tree species offering a refreshing break from the urban centre. We’ll visit the nearby Museo de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts) and continue on to Barrio Bellavista, Santiago’s bohemian neighbourhood, with some of the best bars and restaurants in the city.
Note: Museums closed on Mondays and holidays/PVT
