Lima is a capital city that is historic and modern at the same time.
Lima: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
The huge capital of Peru sprung up out the desert. Lima is a noisy town, an easy going place where clouds cover the sky for 8 months of the year.
My suggestion
Don't just stay in the chic neighbourhoods of Miraflores, Barranco or San Isidro; get out and explore Lima's other side. Hop on a bus or the Metropolitano and head to the north of the city. You'll see neighbourhoods off the tourist trail that reflect the reality of life in Lima.

My suggestion
Don't linger long, the beauty of the country isn't to be found here.
Lima, the capital of Peru, has a population of 10 million and lots going for it! The town is considered in particular as the culinary capital of South America. Advice for fans of good food!
My suggestion
Venturing out into Lima requires preparation and attention. Don't go in there blind! Choose the district in which you stay very carefully. It doesn't always feel safe everywhere, especially at night... Go for Miraflores or perhaps La Molina.
