10 Top Attractions in Santiago de Chile
Santiago de Chile, more commonly known as just Santiago, was founded by the Spanish in 1541, and has served as Chile’s capital since the colonial days. It’s a bustling city of more than six million people, but you’ll still find traces of its heritage in the colonial and 19th century neoclassical buildings. This scenic city has several hills that tower above it, with the Mapocho River flowing through it and the Andes Mountains in the background. There are a variety of tourist attractions in Santiago de Chile, from the religious to the quirky and funky.

10. La Moneda
La Moneda, also known “Coin Palace” because it used to be a mint, is where the president of Chile has his offices. Several other key government officials also have offices in the neoclassical structure that takes up a whole block in downtown Santiago.

9. Museum of Memory and Human Rights
Chile’s record of human rights hasn’t always been stellar, hence the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. Only open for a few years, the museum is a memorial to Chileans who had their rights violated during the Pinochet regime (1973 – 1990).

8. Gran Torre Santiago
The Gran Torre Santiago towers over Santiago and is so high it can be seen from just about anywhere in the city. At 64 stories high, it is the largest skyscraper in Latin America and the highest occupied floor in the Southern Hemisphere.

7. Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino
The Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, or Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, has items dating as far back as 10,000 years. It covers Pre-Columbian art not only from Chile, but from the rest of South America and Central America as well.

6. Cerro Santa Lucia
Cerro Santa Lucia is a hill in central Santiago that represents the remains of a 15-million-year-old volcano. The hill was originally called Huelen but was renamed in 1543 in honor of Santa Lucia when the Spanish conquistadors took the hill.

5. Mercado Central
While the Mercado Central sells other food, the seafood is the main reason you go there. Here, you’ll find a variety of seafood fresh from Chile’s long coastline: fish, oysters, mussels, scallops, clams and a whole lot more.

4. La Chascona
Noted Chilean poet and Nobel literature prize winner Pablo Neruda had three houses, of which La Chascona is one – the others are in Valparaiso and Isla Negra. Neruda had a quirky personality that is reflected in this house.

3. Barrio Bellavista
Barrio Bellavista is where it’s all happenin’, baby. This Santiago neighborhood is the city’s bohemian quarter, a place where artists and intellectuals live, work and play.

2. Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral
Where earlier cathedrals in Santiago have been destroyed by earthquakes, the Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral has stood on the Plaza de Armas for more than 260 years. Construction first began in 1748 and the cathedral has dominated the square ever since.

1. Cerro San Cristobal (Where to Stay)
Cerro San Cristobal is a hill in northern Santiago that rises over the city, providing some pretty great views. Spanish conquistadors named it for Saint Christopher. At the top you’ll find an observatory and a statue of the Virgin Mary, part of a sanctuary dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.
