About Lima

Lima, de hoofdstad van Peru op kliffen boven de Stille Oceaan, is een stad van koloniale pleinen, pre-Inca-ruïnes en een opwindend, geroemd eetcircuit.

Het historische centrum, een UNESCO-werelderfgoed, draait om de Plaza Mayor, met de kathedraal, het Regeringspaleis en het Aartsbisschoppelijk Paleis met zijn houten balkons met snijwerk. Het Klooster van San Francisco verbergt catacomben onder zijn gele kerk, en de koloniale herenhuizen eromheen herinneren aan de rijkdom van het onderkoninkrijk.

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