DESCRIPTION

The city tour around Santiago de Chile is a good way to have a closer look at the mixture between the old and modern, a typical characteristic of this city. At present, Santiago is a modern city with over 6 million inhabitants. It concentrates most of the cultural, business, industrial, and commercial activity in the country. This tour includes a visit to the downtown area in order to see its old buildings, the most important institutional offices, and outstanding museums and monuments representing most of Chile and Santiago’s history.

Main attractions to visit:

- Santa Lucía Hill: the spot where Santiago was founded in 1541.
- Plaza de Armas (Arms Square): the place where the City Hall is located, in the historical center of the Chilean capital. - The Cathedral: opposite Plaza de Armas, visitors will find the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago and other buildings, such as the Cathedral Temple, the Archbishop Palace next to Compañía Street and the Side Chapel. These buildings have been declared National Monuments.
- The Post Office: this historic building is two centuries old and has been the traditional residence of governors. - Santiago City Hall: it is located in the place where the Cabildo (Town Council) used to be in colonial times, and it follows the architectural style of the period.
- National Library: it is one of the oldest libraries in Latin America, built in the neoclassical style and academic design. It includes some of the most beautiful rooms in early 20th century Chilean architecture.
- Government Palace: it is known as La Moneda (Coin House) and features one of the most impressive façades of the Colonial Americas. It is also the seat of the national government.

During the tour, some of the old neighborhoods in Santiago will be visited and, to the east, visitors will see the modern buildings and the changes brought about by these constructions. Finally, the tour ends with a visit to a handicraft market (FABA), where pieces made of lapis lazuli -existing only in Chile and Afghanistan- can be seen, while enjoying a traditional Pisco Sour cocktail. As a last stop, visitors may choose between going to the hotel or the Central Market.
