Experience the best of 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.
Cerro San Cristóbal rises above the city with a statue of the Virgin Mary, reached by funicular or cable car, and Cerro Santa Lucía is a terraced garden around an old fortress. Bellavista is home to La Chascona, one of Pablo Neruda's houses, and lively bars, while Lastarria has cafés and galleries. The glass towers of Providencia and Las Condes show the modern city.
Chilean cooking brings empanadas, pastel de choclo, fresh seafood and the pisco sour, and the Maipo and Casablanca valleys produce excellent wines. Spring blossom and autumn colour in the vineyards make the loveliest seasons, summer is hot and dry, and winter brings snow to ski slopes within an easy drive. The colourful hillsides of Valparaíso on the coast make a classic day trip.
