What sights should I not miss in Lima?

Plaza de Armas, Lima

The Plaza de Armas is considered to be the oldest place and therefore the most important sight of Lima. The square is considered the birthplace of the capital and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991. As no cars are allowed in the Plaza de Armas, it is best to leave the rental car outside and continue on foot. The historical significance is also reflected in the buildings that surround the square. Look forward to the cathedral, the Palacio Arzobispal as well as the Palacio Gobierno. The Plaza de Armas is a highlight for every history and culture fan in Lima.

The Cerro San Cristobal is Lima's local mountain. It lies embedded in the city north of the old town on the other side of the river. If you want to enjoy a wonderful view over Lima, then the Cerro San Cristobal is a real insider tip. From above you can see the different districts, the bullring, the stadium and the Plaza de Armas. It is best to take a taxi or bus to the top.

Paragliding in Miraflores

Temple Pyramid Huaca Pucllana

Miraflores is probably the most popular district of Lima. There is something for every taste in Miraflores: fine dining opportunities, extensive beaches, colourful shops and much more. Watch paragliders, stroll through the well-kept avenues or buy some souvenirs from one of the flying merchants in Parque Kennedy. If you're driving to the Miraflores district of Lima by rental car, visit the Huaca Pucllana temple pyramid. The name means "place of the holy games". The Huaca was built of clay bricks stacked on top of each other and is reminiscent of a bookshelf. A visit to the Huaca Pucllana will take you back in time.
