What to Do in Lima
Lima, City of Kings
PERU’S CAPITAL CITY, LIMA, IS BRIMMING WITH HISTORIC SITES, SOME OF THE WORLD’S TOP RESTAURANTS, AND MANY OF THE COUNTRY’S BEST MUSEUMS, BOUTIQUES AND GALLERIES.
Once considered the most beautiful city in all of Spanish colonial America, between the 16th and 19th centuries Lima was the prized and sumptuous capital of the sprawling Spanish colonial empire. Today Peru’s capital is a burgeoning city and the largest in Peru. Asides from its rich history – where ancient monuments sit alongside modern developments – Lima is famous for being the culinary capital of South America. With a handful of restaurants in Lima featuring in the World’s Best 50 Restaurants, there’s no better place on the continent for gourmands to explore. Lima is also a coastal city and in the summer months you can walk along the promenade or sail in Lima’s bay to the backdrop of picture-perfect sunsets.Â
In Lima everything is in endless movement, and even the past is constantly being rediscovered. Lima offers an extraordinary range of emotions, sensations, colors and flavors: travelers can visit the city’s impressive cathedral, fly over the ocean, enjoy a photogenic sunset, or savor unmatched cuisine.
Lima is a place of converging trends, created by its people and their living culture, where you will find every corner of Peru represented. One visit to Lima can never be enough. Lima, filled with colonial-era riches, is the only capital in South America that faces the sea, and it is hailed as the gastronomic capital of Latin America.
It is a city you should not miss!
