Highlights
  • Cerro San Cristobal - Although it’s probably on all of the Top 5 tourist sites of Santiago, Cerro San Cristóbal is not overrated in the least. This big hill in the middle of the city affords one of the most incredible Santiago panoramas available. Every time I head up, my knowledge of the city has increased, and thus I am able to point out more landmarks, distinguish different sectors, etc. For those unfamiliar to Santiago, the view from up here will let you orient the city in its surroundings: the Andes Mountains and the Cordillera de la Costa.
  • Parque Metropolitano de Santiago - Parquemet - The park was created in April 1966, when incorporating the Chilean National Zoo and the services of San Cristóbal Hill, and is managed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
  • Central Market (Mercado Central) - The Central Market in Santiago, Chile, has been named as one of National Geographic’s top ten food markets worldwide. Taken from National Geographic’s book Journeys of a Lifetime, the list runs through the best markets in the world for offering fresh local produce alongside a slice of local life.
  • La Moneda - La Moneda, is the seat of the President of the Republic of Chile. It also houses the offices of three cabinet ministers: Interior, General Secretariat of the Presidency and General Secretariat of the Government. It occupies an entire block in downtown Santiago
  • Ex Congreso Nacional - Is the former home of the Chilean Congress. Congress met in this building in central Santiago until Salvador Allende’s socialist government was overthrown by Augusto Pinochet’s military coup d’état on September 11, 1973.

During the Pinochet dictatorship, Congress was moved to new premises in Valparaíso; the old building was declared a national monument in 1976 and between 1990 and 2006 housed the ministry of foreign affairs. The Senate moved its offices in Santiago to this building in December 2000

  • Central Post Office (Museo Postal) - The Central Post Office Building is a historic post office building on the northern edge of the Plaza de Armas, in Santiago, Chile. It is adjacent to the Palacio de la Real Audiencia de Santiago and is located on what was the land lot originally owned by Pedro de Valdivia and where he built his house.
  • Plaza de La Constitucion - Is a plaza occupying a full square block in the heart of the civic district of Santiago, Chile. It is located in front of the northern facade of the Palacio de la Moneda and is surrounded by other government buildings such as those housing the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Banco Central de Chile and the Intendencia de Santiago
  • Sanhattan - This is the financial sector in the upper area of our city
  • Centro Cultural Palacio de la Moneda y Plaza de la Ciudadania - The Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda beneath Plaza de la Ciudadanía. A glass-slab roof floods the vaultlike space with natural light, and ramps wind down through the central atrium past the Cineteca Nacional, a state-run art-house movie theater, to two large temporary exhibition spaces that house some of the biggest touring shows to visit Santiago.
  • Bellavista - Is an area that lies between the Mapocho River and San Cristóbal Hill in Santiago, Chile. It is known as Santiago’s bohemian quarter, with numerous restaurants, boutiques, avant-garde galleries, bars and clubs. Many of the city’s intellectuals and artists live in Bellavista, and Pablo Neruda’s house in Santiago, La Chascona
  • San Francisco Church - The church, along with the adjacent convent, is one of the oldest colonial-era buildings in the country. The church was consecrated in 1622
  • Plaza de Armas - “Plaza de Armas.” Literally a “square of weapons,” the concept behind this city center dates back hundreds of years, to when Spanish conquistadors were establishing and laying out the grid for cities in the Americas. A single city block would often be intentionally left empty and surrounded by important government offices, cathedrals, and the like.
  • Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral GAM - Chile’s most famous poet, Gabriela Mistral (1889 – 1957), significantly inspired the work of this cultural centre for her love of words, her democratic conviction and her dedication to education. Born as Lucila Godoy Alcayaga in the small town of Vicuña in north-central Chile, she started writing and working as a teacher and at the age of 15. At 25 she published her first mayor work, “Sonetos de la muerte”, which brought her the Chilean literary award in 1912
  • Costanera Center - The Torre Costanera, was designed by architect César Pelli and is 300 metres (980 ft) tall, making it the tallest building in Latin America and the second tallest in the Southern Hemisphere
  • Parque Forestal - Parque Forestal is a large, narrow park dotted with numerous must-see locations in downtown Santiago. It borders the Mapocho River from Plaza Baquedano, also known as Plaza Italia, all the way to Estación Mapocho, a historical building and cultural center near the Puente Cal y Canto metro station. Mercado Central, La Vega, and the Bellas Artes museum are some of the other major destinations located in or adjacent to Parque Forestal.
  • Patio Bellavista - This open-air complex of bars, restaurants, and shops, located on the corner of Pio Nono and Constitución, is a relatively recent addition to the culinary, nightlife, and cultural landscape of the city.
  • Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana) - Slipping into the neoclassical Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral. Walk in through the wooden doors under its two towers and explore this Santiago treasure, one of the city’s top historical destinations.
  • Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts - The Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts is one of the major centers for Chilean art and for broader South American art. Established in 1880 (making it the oldest in South America)

Nightlife with a safe feeling! - While in Santiago, we wanted to see the night life and the pulsating city with a nice dinner. Since we werent sure about the safety of the city in the night, we bought this tour to have a easier experience, and we dont regret! The sightseeing was really nice and the dinner was excellent. The folkore dance was interresting, the kids enjoyed a lot!

Magical Evening - This was an excellent tour of the city, with special focus on Cerro San Cristobal. The tour guides gave a personalized and informative tour and were very conscious about timing our visit to the centerpiece of the city so that we climbed the hill at sunset. They drove us up most of the way and then we walked from there up to the glorious statue of Mary and magnificent views of the city at sunset with the snow-topped mountains in a pink haze and the Costanera building as a gleaming spire. They gave us a wonderful and fascinating overview of the main city sites as we drove to our restaurant, “Bali Hai”, where we had a folkloric dance performance from different areas of Chile, as well as a delicious meal. All in all, it was the perfect preview of Chile and the guides were very knowledgeable.

No night life to experience during summer months - I would like to clarify we are taking this tour during the summer months, the sun goes down at 9 pm. And the last cable car from San Cristóbal Hill, comes down at 7:20 pm, so there was no night life to appreciate. So we toured the city in car, there was no time for stops, as the dinner show at Bali Hai starts at 8 pm. This show was a perfect way to appreciate part of the Chilean and Easter Island cultures.

Do not take this trip. - First of all the driver did not not speak English as advertised. He would pass use his phone which had a "script" typed into it. He seemed to be driving all over town and constantly doubling back. When we asked to get out of the car to see San Cristobal Hill he drove off.

I feel cheated! - We knew when we booked this tour that we would not be able to see the city’s night view as the pick up time was 6:30pm ( they changed from 5:30pm ) and the sun doesn’t set till past 8:15pm. though in the tour description they say we would enjoy panoramic view of the city at night. MRO say professional guide and live commentary on board are included but what we got was a driver who just drove us to Cristobal Hill and took us to the ticket counter to pay for our return cable car tickets. It was not a lot of money but in the tour description they say admission to Cristobal Hill and private service- tour inside Cristobal Hill are included. The driver just told us to buy cable car tickets, ride up on our own and come back down by 7:30pm as we needed to arrive at the dinner place by 8pm. We had about 25 minutes up on the hill before he took us to the dinner place. He then dropped us off at our hotel after dinner. There was no panoramic tour on downtown or admission to Parque Metropolitano de Santiago they said would include in the tour. Not sure if the recent unrest calls for a change of itinerary but the driver never mentioned it to us or took us to any alternative attractions. Though the dinner show was very good but charging us Cad175 plus tax per person for a drive to Cristobal Hill and dinner is a huge rip off! The driver did chat with us but he was not giving us any professional guide as MTO claim in the tour description. I JUST FEEL CHEATED.
