General Tips: Mercado Central
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Visit the Mercado Central (open daily 6am-4pm). This huge metal structure, erected in Santiago in 1868, contains a fruit, vegetable and fish market worth visiting. The best time to be there is at lunchtime when you can eat at one of the many fish restaurants.

    Cerro San Cristobal: Cerro San Cristóbal
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Go up to the summit of Cerro San Cristóbal. On a clear, sunny day the views over the city and to the Andes are quite stunning. The easiest way to get up is to take the funicular from the station at the north end of Pío Nono in Bellavista. At a peak of 860m is a giant 22m high statue of the Virgin Mary (Virgen de la Inmaculada).

    General Tips: The old city centre
  • Tip Rating:

  • Fondest Memory: Exploring the old city centre. Chile's capital is immense. However the centre is relatively small. It is a city of grand avenues and plazas, public buildings, churches and parks. But unlike Buenos Aires it is conducive to traffic jams and pollution. Nevertheless it is an interesting place.
