Okay maybe I'm missing something...the area is very small, just a few streets, with nothing but tourists stalls to recommend it and all of those are set up in one small area. There does not seem anything in particular to do or see. Don't think you learn or experience about Santiago by coming here. Just a walk through suffices.

The streets are busy with sellers of books and maps and antiques and lots of other items and there are wonderful restaurants and bars as well. We stayed in this area 2 years ago and loved it - a happening place a night, and frankly during the day as well. We have been going back each day to try a new restaurant. It backs up to the GAM museum and is a fun place to wander. Check out Jose Ramon for artisenal Evers and good burgers, Bocanariz for 250 different option of Chilean wines and wonderful food, or a number of other street side restaurants offering food, beer or ice cream. You will keep going back!

Barrio Lastarria neighbourshood is considered to be safe; however, we learned about reported robbery attempts at intersection of José Victorino Lastarria & Av. Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins. Please be aware, don't wear jewelry, don't have anything in your hands (phone, purse, backpack, camera, etc.) that can be violently snatched.

We visited this area on a recent trip to Buenos Aires. This area has a Bohemian culture with an artistic vibe. Barrio Lastarria is one of the most beautifully maintained historic places in Chile and you can take a walk through pathways which embrace houses built in the 19th century, a burst of cafes and restaurants and a bohemian ambience which is simply Chile at its best! We really enjoyed wander wandering through the Parque Forestal which was an oasis like setting amongst the trees.

One of the vendor there, a woman who sells fabric stamps or stickers was very upset because we didn't buy all her stickers and according to her we left a messy stand. Of course she was upset and complained about the no purchase to everyone. We did not buy a thing because went out of proportion. Upsetting experience with this woman who stays across a museum and coffee venues
Her lost was someone else's gain.

While we enjoyed a nice meal and a quick stroll through this area, there was not much to see. The park was lovely, but there are nicer parks in the city. The graffiti post-protests remains prolific; it is EVERYWHERE (as is the smell of pot, truth be told). There is some cool architecture, but we enjoyed other areas (such as Barrio Italia) more.

Small neighborhood filled with hipster style restaurants and lounges along with clothing shops. Stalls with trinkets and souvenirs. A good mix of locals and tourists.

We stayed here about 10 days, the first week or so in an apartment and the last two nights in a hotel. There are restaurants, markets, and museums in the neighborhood. It is safe, clean, and convenient to the subway and other parts of the city. We will stay here again on or next visit to Santiago.

I absolutely love this part of Santiago.
We stayed at an Rbnb. The accommodation was booked by a friend of our family. We loved the apartment we stayed at as much as the whole scene at this beautiful Barrio Lastarria. This area of Santiago is close to the Parque Forestal so walking distance all around.
Very popular with Students and tourists from all walks of life.
Little markets selling beautiful handmade objects, paintings etc.
Lots of restaurants and coffee shops also and bookstores selling new and secondhand books.
Beware most shops open @10.30 A.M so if you are a morning person needing coffee early morning you will need to wait or opt for Tea made at home as anything else is not easy to find around here.
Would love to come back and visit this area in a few years. It almost changes every night.
Other than that, Loved it.

We have a 7 hour layover in Santiago and are looking for some ideas to pass the time. Would a visit to Barrio Lastarria be a good option to spend a couple of hours, get something to eat, etc? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
Written December 19, 2016
Hello!
It would be a good choice, but I'd would also recommend to you to visit the Bellavista neighbourhood. They have a lot of places to eat there, ant shops and Pablo Neruda's home, which is worth a visit. :-)
Also in Bellavista, there is a restaurant you must try. It is called Como Agua Para Chocolate, and if you like fish, you need to have their congrío dish, which comes with congrío (a fish typical from Chile)with cheese and almonds crust in a bed of spinach cream. It is divine!!!
Hope this helps! And go back to Santiago with more time...you gonna love it!

Restaurante na calçada do Paseo Barrio Lastarria, que eh onde há a concentração de restaurantes, uns 400 Mts depois, Restaurante Lá Mensajeria. Há pratos de comida em torno de 40,00 e empanadas maravilhosas também!! Comemos por 3 dias lá carne a li pobre, empanadas e salada e amamos!! Não encontramos nenhum lugar com comida tão gostosa e tão bem servida por esse preço. Restaurante não eh para turistas, nem tem no tripadvisor mas vale mega a pena.
