What to do and where to go in Santiago

If a foreigner friend of mine came I would take her to city center because I think is a important place of Santiago and this she would allow know part of history of this city, take her specifically to Plaza de armas, Government palace, San Francisco church, Municipal teather and to National library. Also seize the oportunity to we were to the Santa Lucía hill and to the craft fair which is located in front to the hill.

I would also take her to Bellavista neighborhood, in this place can do many things during the day and night. In the morning we could go shopping to Patronato where can you get very cheap clothes , after we could lunch a sandwich and drink a beer in a restaurant to continue the evening in San Cristobal hill and we could see the animals of zoo, we could got on the cablecar and walk to the virgin. At night we could go see a play to any room and finish the night in some bar.

I would tell her to went to Cajon del Maipo in the weekend to camping, this is a beautiful place, with many vegetation where you can walk through the hills, swim in the river and do a picnic.

Another fun place to which my friend could come on Sunday is the Forest Park, here is the Bellas Artes museum that exhibits very good exhibitions, it is also possible to see jugglers and artisans. There is a Cafes where you can drink coffee or ice cream depending on the time of the year.
