What travelers are saying
- Norma FBuenos Aires, Argentina483 contributionsA good idea is to take the funicular up to the top of the hill, climb up to the statue of the virgin, which dates back to 1908, and take the cable car down to the base (approx. 15 min), with a spectacular view of Santiago from the air.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ArchieGlenmoore, PA7,943 contributionsWe enjoyed walking around this hill. Gardens to explore, church, castle, fountains. Its a pleasant surprise at each corner. Lots of little viewpoint and fountains. Plenty of stairs to climb. Rest areas as well in the shade.Written January 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ArchieGlenmoore, PA7,943 contributionsWe booked tickets online for a 8 pm slot. Massive lines for elevator. Very busy with alot of people watching sunset. There is a bar on the top and 62nd floor can be accessed through escalator. Beautiful views of the city. There is an explanation of the various city sites. It can be accessed from lower mall level.Written January 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- VickiLondon, UK711 contributionsVisited this neighbourhood as part of the city tour. Lovely area with lots of restaurants and shops. There is also a street market where you can buy Arts, crafts, handmade stuff, souvenirs etc and also paintings being sold by local artists at very reasonable prices! There are also shops in the area as well and some local galleries. The Museum of Visual Arts is also within the area. Recommended if you are in the area!Written April 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Norma FBuenos Aires, Argentina483 contributionsThe cathedral is the meeting point of the free walking tours, but it is worth to go in and see it, it is a very beautiful place,Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christian MCopenhagen, Denmark6,232 contributionsFirst and foremost, you should know that Barrio Italia is one of Santiago's coolest and most photogenic areas. Low houses, green trees, colorful street art, good vibes. It's definitely worth a visit.
A good tip is to focus your visit on Avenida Italia, where most of the quirky shops, restaurants, and cafes are located. There are plenty of other lovely streets and places in the area, but Avenida Italia should be the focal point.
Enjoy the area's youth with their no-nonsense attitudes, tattoos, piercings, and fishnet stockings (both genders). There's a bit of an authentic Berlin vibe in Barrio Italia.
If you, like us, love to walk, then continue to Avenida Condell, where you can see many beautiful, old villas and get an impression of how elegant Santiago once was before all the ugly skyscrapers took over the city.
If you get hungry around lunchtime, seek out the wonderful Bistro Silvestre, which excels in healthy, tasty food and an extensive beer menu.Written March 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful architecture and stunning views in the heart of Santiago. A good option if you are in Santiago.Written December 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MainlandAnn Arbor, MI8 contributionsA peaceful and quiet place, so calming. People of all religions are welcome. The architecture is unique and inspiring. The view of the city is beautiful as this id on a hill. It is in Peñalolen and you can get there by bus and a 35 minute walk. Free entrance but be respectful of the silence and not taking photos inside.Written May 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andy FDevizes, UK1,396 contributionsAn interesting visit, and a must-see in SAntiago. Very large square with lots of shops, various public buildings and the cathedral. Also lots of trees and seating, pop-up stalls. A very pleasant place to spend an hour or two.Written November 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JnVSydneyGreater Sydney, Australia24,350 contributionsA huge square that is in front of the Palace, currently fenced off due to the unrest, the cultural centre is located underneath the square, it is also home to one of the biggest flags flying we have ever seen.Written February 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christian MCopenhagen, Denmark6,232 contributionsIsn't it better to experience one piece of world-class art that you really enjoy the sight of completely undisturbed - than to trudge around for hours between all sorts of quite good and less interesting artworks?
We always get tired of long museum visits, and in the end, we just look forward to getting to the café and having a cup of coffee.
That's why the visit OUTSIDE Museo de Belles Artes was a scoop. Here stands a phenomenal sculpture created by the Colombian world star Botero - a magnificent horse - for free viewing.
Voila, world-class art for free without getting tired in feet and back.Written March 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nia G15 contributionsAmazing views of the entire city. Worth the visit! I wish we had planned more time to browse the mall afterwards or beforehand but we had to head back.Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
