What to do/Where to go in Santiago

If you are a tourist you can`t leave to visit some particular places in Santiago. For example you should visit the Bellavista neighborhood. There are many bars and pubs in the Pionono street. Also there are many souvenir stores where you can buy something typical for your friends. You can visit nearly of there the San Cristóbal Hill. There is the metropolitan park, and the metropolitan zoo. If you like the art you should visit the Bellas Artes museum, a great art center of Santiago (and Chile) and sometimes (in the Sundays) the entrance is free. You can travel in the Metro (the subway) of the city, one of the cleanest subways of south America, but you must be careful, in some hours of the day there are many people travel there and this would be a terrible experience. If you are travelling with kids, you could go to Fantasilandia, the most important amusement park in Santiago. There are many games an Roller coasters for the children and for the parents too, there the kids could be the entire day without getting bored.

If you are not travelling with kids you could go with your couple to the Forestal Park and spend time there, it is a quiet place in the middle of the city, and on the weekends there are many artistic events. In general Santiago is a nice city, but the Citizens sometimes are not, so many people are angry, and with a little threat could give you a great “Rosario” (an insult). You must be careful with the taxi drivers too, because sometimes they cuould charge you a lot of money. Anyway.. enjoy Santiago!
