Lima
Lima, capital of Lima Province, is both the capital and largest city in Peru. It is the cultural and economic hub of the country. Lima occupies the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers. It lies on a desertic coast overlooking the Bay of Lima in the Pacific Ocean where its port was built and named Callao.The beautiful Plaza de Armas: A place not only for tourists
- Plaza de Armas, is the main square of downtown Lima.
- Museo de la Nacion, along Av. Javier Prado
- , showcases remarkable chronological galleries providing an excellent overview on 3000 years of development of Peruvian pre-Columbian history. Located in a unique vice-royal mansion of the 18th century built over a 7th century pre-Columbian pyramid, is surrounded by beautiful gardens, in Pueblo Libre borough. Popular thanks to its ample collection of erotic pottery from the Mochica culture and the Gold & Jewelry of Ancient Peru exhibition.
- National Museum of Archaeology and History, also in the Pueblo Libre borough, quite good and very didactic; the area surrounding it is worth a walk.
- Museo de Oro del Perú, Alonso de Molina 1100, Monterrico. Overrated. Peru's gold museum contains a huge collection of gaudy, gold works. Not the best place to learn about Peruvian precolumbian cultures. A large part of a Peruvian 20,000-piece collection of gold is fake, according to the Peru's consumer protection agency.
- Museo de Arte, permanent and temporary exhibits of Peruvian art, covering pre-hispanic, colonial, republican and modern art
- La Iglesia de San Francisco, Fans of colonial churches will be pleased with the architecture of this well-known church in downtown Lima. However, the more compelling reasons to visit this cathedral include underground catacombs featuring hundreds of real human skeletons arranged in artistic patterns, and also a beautiful library with mysterious, oversized books and spiral staircases in Harry Potteresque form.
- Instituto Riva Agüero, in Jirón Camaná, holds two museums: an interesting collection of popular arts, including masks and costumes from current festivities in the Andean region; and a small but nice collection of archaeological artifacts from Lima sites. The Instituto is housed on a very old colonial townhouse, one of the few of its kind open to the public.
- Larcomar . It's like a mall, where you can eat, shop, go to the cinema, it has two nice discotecs for the night. The discotecs are open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and in summer (January and February) also Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Larcomar's principal attraction is its location. It is located in Miraflores, in a high hill where you can see the beach while eating or just walking.
- The Discotecas El Blvd. De San Juan de Miraflores, although in a different neighborhood, has great and fun clubs to go clubbing. From RELAX, SON EN CUBA, PICASSO AND SON IN CUBA, you have a lot to choose from. Though you might have to be careful not get robbed. In addition, also in San Juan de Miraflores is EL KAPITAL SUR, open Thursedays thur Fridays. Beer at El Kapital is usually one bottle for 12 soles or on Sundays it three bottles for 12 soles. El Blvd. De Barranco has a lot of clubs. Such as La Jungla, ghetto but fun. Entrance to these clubs ranges from 3 soles to 15 soles, which in dollars comes to be 1 dollar to 5 dollars.
