A great city full of great places

I live in Santiago since I came in to college. It’s been almost four years since then! But sometimes I still feel like a foreigner. Maybe that’s because recommend a foreigner tourist places to visit in Santiago it’s a little bit hard!

First, if you like history and arts you should go to the Pre-Columbian Art Museum. Where is keep the artistic legacy of American pre-Columbian peoples. It’s an interesting place full of surprises.

Then you can visit the Metropolitan Park is a beautiful place in the Saint Cristobal’s hill. It’s ideal for jogging, mountain bike and have a panoramic view of the city. I like it because it’s a great way of have contact with nature. Also you can travel by cable car!

Near of this place is Venecia! I recommend it because it’s my favorite restaurant. It’s a delicious restaurant of typical Chilean food where Pablo Neruda used to go, so it’s filled with pictures of him. And if you want to know more about him to can visit his house: La Chascona. It’s a ship-shaped house, you have to see it!

Finally, if you want souvenirs. Go to the craft center Santa Lucia, where there’s millions of precious things, since ornaments until hand-woven clothing.

I think a thing you should do when you are getting to know a new place is walking! And while you’re doing that, take pictures of everything you like!

Also, If you are a foreigner tourist to have to be careful with the food carts you find in the street. Some of them aren’t very hygienic! And watch out with the prices! Some people might want to take advantage of you …

And at last…enjoy!!! A new place it’s a new chance of discover a whole new world, with different culture and different people =)
