Santiago


Santiago is the capital city of Chile and is the city I live in, it’s a very interesting place to visit I totally recommend it for anyone who wants to know Chile. Within the metropolitan area of Santiago there are about 174 heritage sites between them we can mention: architectural, historical and archaeological monuments and even typical neighborhoods and areas that any foreigner tourist must visit. For example, palaces in areas surrounding República Neighborhood or others 19th century architectural structures as Equestrian Club of Santiago, University of Chile, Catholic University, Central Station and Mapocho Station, Central Market, National Library, Bellas Artes Museum, Paris-London neighborhood, etcétera.
In Santiago there’re lots of green areas where I recommend vistors to go, among those places I con mention the fortifications of Santa Lucia Hill, the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary at the top of San Cristobal Hill there visitors can take a ride on “teleférico” and watch the city from the sky, it’s beautiful. Santiago General Cemetery, Forest Park, O'Higgins Park where people can take a walk by the “Pueblito” in there, and Quinta Normal Park.
Five of the greatest place in Santiago are: Bellavista neighborhood, here you can fin popular bars, cultural center and internacional gastronomy, I’ve been there, it's a great place specially at night, Quinta Normal Park where tourist can visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, MAC-Espacio Quinta Normal, Chilean Railway Museum, National Museum of Natural History, etc. Beautiful place to spend some quiet time, Moneda Palace seat of president of Chile, the most important place in country, Forestal Park the most traditional park in the city, there’re important cultural and recreational activities, very typical place! And Plaza de Armas the historical center of the capital of Chile, here Santiago was founded, visitors can find the Central Post office, National Historical Museum and the Cathedral of Santiago.
