What to do and where to go in Santiago

Hi foreigner tourist, today I’m going to recommend you some places to visit in Santiago, Chile.

The first thing you have to do when you arrive here is get Chilean money and buy a BIP! Card. This card is for paying the bus and the subway, in order to get anywhere you want to. Some places you should visit/activities you should do if you are in Santiago are:

- Plaza de Armas
- San Cristobal Hill
- Get a teleferico (cable car)
- O`Higgins Park
- Quinta Normal Park

The first place in the list, Plaza de Armas, is the most typical place. There you can find a Cathedral and several Chilean food places. A place you certainly have to visit is the San Cristobal Hill, in Providencia. It has a beautiful road that goes up the hill, following the shape of it. In the same hill, you can get a teleferico (cable car) and see the incredible landscape from above.

O’Higgins Park is another typical place. There you can take long walks, make pick-nicks and hang out with friends. You can do the same things in Quinta Normal Park. You also can visit MAC (Contemporary Art Museum), it´s near the Park and there always are good things to see.
A useful advice could be to be aware of your personal things like camera, cell phone and wallet. Some months ago I was near Plaza Italia and I saw how an American tourist was robbed. So, watch out!

That’s all for this week, bye bye friends!
