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.

Lima is a capital city that is historic and modern at the same time.

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.

Visiting Lima's various neighbourhoods

It's at Lima that the great numbers of Peruvians found themselves in the 50s, when the rural exodus was at its peak. The capital has seen a tenfold increase in its population and it's this mixture of people and cultures from all over the country that gives it all its variety today.
