Itinerary
We will walk from La Moneda Palace (start) until San Cristobal Hill entrance, because of this we will spend some time walking, normally the tour lasts in between 3 hours to 4 hours (some people walk fast and some people are not that fast :P) Just making this very clear to avoid confusions. As we walk we will stop in all the places mentioned below ;)
Former mint-house of the Spanish crown and today is our government palace/presidents office (we dont go inside)
Former congress building from the mid 1800s with an amazing Neo classical architecture (no visit allowed in here)
Main square of Santiago (point 0 of the city) the "Damero", square layout that the spanish brought into the new world, starts on plaza de armas as the main and biggest square of the city, from here we grow everywhere with this layout. In here we go to the main cathedral (if it is open) and see the buildings around the area
Amazing museum with both National and International art, build to celebrate our 100 years of independence.
Espacio M is currently a shopping mall, back in the day was a grand palace from a wealthy family, circa 1846
Amazing cultural center with lots of activities everyday all year round (movies, theater, music, exhibitions, etc) and with a very cool background and history
Back in the day this hill was the main watchpost in the city (both Natives and Spanish used this hill with the same purpose) today is a beautiful park with a very nice lookout of the city and mountains (not opened on mondays theres a plan B for this day))

About Santiago
Santiago, Chile's capital, sits in a broad valley beneath the snowy Andes, a city of hilltop parks, bohemian neighbourhoods and vineyards close by.
The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.
Top-ranked sights in Santiago: Viña del Mar, Plaza de Armas, La Moneda Palace (Palacio de la Moneda).
