What to do and where to go in Santiago

To all tourist who travel to Santiago there's a lot of things to do and beautiful places to visit. First I would recommend cultural neighborhoods, like "barrio lastarria" , where people can find museums, old art cinemas, beautiful coffee shops, old book shops and specially a great place to get the best icecreams, "El emporio de la rosa", that is near to a big park. That's definitely a great place to visit because it has beautiful old buildings and big houses worthy of photograph.

Next, for a great lunch "chilean style" I would recommend sea food, so the next place to visit is the central market, where tourist can find the best sea food, great variety and great prices, for all family and of course for children, because if they don't like sea food there's always other options.

Third, specially for children there is the "Metropolitan Zoo", located in "Cerro San Cristobal". To get there you have to walk through the mountain or you can pay and get into a mini train that carries you towards the top of the mountain. In Cerro San Cristobal you can also visit the great virgin Mary at the top, or get into the "teleférico", which is a capsule attached to a wire that provides a great view.

The fourth place I would recommend is for night life. It's very knowned  "El Barrio bellavista", for it's night life. There's a lot of pubs so you can drink something and have a great time.

Finally, at the end of the day I would recommend something to relax and enjoy, and that would be the "University of Chile theatre" so the tourist can listen to good music played by the " Chilean Symphonic Orchestra" in a confortable place and have a wonderful evening.
These are the places that everyone has to visit if they come to Santiago..they cannot say that they were here if they didn't go there!
