Santiago’s heart beats in Plaza de Armas! This square’s got history, street performers, and the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral. Check it out in the morning for fewer crowds. Grab a coffee at Cafe Caribe nearby. Don’t miss the street art on side streets – it’s a vibe!
Wanna killer view? Hike or cable car up Cerro San Cristóbal. The Virgin Mary statue at the top is iconic, and the city skyline’s unreal. Go at sunset for magic. Pack water – it’s a bit of a trek!
La Moneda’s Chile’s presidential palace and a must-see. Free tours show off its history (book ahead!). The changing of the guard at 10 AM is cool. Nearby, hit up the Cultural Center for art exhibits.
This hill’s a chill spot for history and views. Climb the steps for a quick workout, and check out the old fort. It’s smaller than Cerro San Cristóbal, so perfect for a quick visit. Cafes in Lastarria are just a walk away.
