Lima Markets
Lima is a fasincating place to visit full with lively streets, museums, churches, culture, history, markets, interesting districts, burial sites, archaelogical treasures and wonderful beaches.

A busy conjested city with over 8 million people it offers travelers an unique magical unforgetable experience. The safest area to stay is around Miraflores. Downtown can be risky and at times unsafe for travelers.

Miraflores is the place to visit in Lima. It’s the safest area and excellent for tourists and visitors. It’s a wonderful place to stroll around with exciting interesting shops, cafes and restaurants.

A must do is visiting the markets with Peruvians selling their artefacts all dressed in traditional clothing. It’s located on the intersection of Avenue Arequipa and Pardo at the main plaza.

The Calle de las Pizzas (Pizza Street) are the favourite place for the locals and teenagers to hang out.
