Although Santiago is not often the first city that comes to mind when talking about a Latin American metropolis, its subdued charm and quiet chic certainly deserve to be in the same category as Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro. It’s this ambience along with the perfect blend of old meets new which makes the capital city so enticing.
Although Santiago has a decidedly adult air to it, there are several things which the kids will find highly entertaining. Besides the typical shopping centres and cinemas, there’s a great zoo, an aquarium and a couple of child-focused museums. If they love the outdoors, there’s a whole universe waiting for them in the Andes.
San Sebasti Feast Day: this is held in the small town of Yumbel and is one of the more colourful festivals in Chile. Hundreds of thousands of devotees converge on the town to pay homage to the saint with parades, songs and a marvellous candle display at night.
Santiago is a tapestry of relaxing green parks, bustling markets and colourful neighbourhoods. There are some fantastic museums which offer an insight into this country’s troubled history and 32 eclectic neighbourhoods which offer a view at the city’s present direction. Some of the most fascinating sights to see are the day to day activities keeping the locals busy.
Santiago has a fairly efficient public transportation system capable of handling its large and active population. The city’s subway is efficient, reasonably priced and can get you where you need to go in style. International visitors to Santiago will fly into Arturo Benitez International Airport, located about 12 miles northeast of the city centre.
Most businesses are open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 19:00. They will all more than likely be closed for lunch between 13:00 and 15:00. On Saturdays, most shops open from 10:00 to 14:00 but are closed on Sundays. Shops in the big malls stay open until 22:00. Museums keep their own hours, so check in advance before going.
