About Lima

Lima, Perus Hauptstadt auf Klippen über dem Pazifik, vereint Kolonialplätze, vorinkaische Ruinen und eine gefeierte, aufregende Esskultur.

Das historische Zentrum, UNESCO-Welterbe, dreht sich um die Plaza Mayor mit der Kathedrale, dem Regierungspalast und dem Erzbischöflichen Palast mit seinen geschnitzten Holzbalkonen. Das Kloster San Francisco verbirgt Katakomben unter seiner gelben Kirche, und die Kolonialvillen ringsum erinnern an den Reichtum des Vizekönigreichs.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
