What to do and Where to go in Santiago?

Hello everybody!

Today I’m going to talk about interesting places to visit in Santiago, a city full of life if you search very well.
Well I born, grew and studied during a bit part of my life in the centre of Santiago, then I really know this area and the places where the tourist and foreign people want to visit, like the civic and culture centres, the monuments, relevant buildings and traditional restaurants or freaky places too. In opportunities I ask myself, why they came here and what they do and enjoy of this places? When they visited it, they used the cameras and video cameras for takes photos and record for get good memories of a unknown place called Santiago of Chile. Also when the tourists are lost, they try to ask the people the directions or location where they want to go, but many times the pedestrians don’t know the right way to arrive there and the confuse them.
Some places where the tourist go frequently are:
- The Government Palace, because is the centre of management and civic affairs. It could be interesting if you hope to know about historic an political facts.
- The Cathedral of Santiago and “Plaza de Armas” in general, because you could find a lot of monument that are national and historic patrimony.
- The San Cristóbal and Santa Lucía hills, where you can see all Santiago.
- The Municipal Theatre, if you want listen classical and traditional music, because they presents different styles of its. Also you would visit another music centres.
- The Central market, where you will find a variety of food, specially traditional food with sea products.
- Also the tourists enjoy when they visit the craft markets, because they can buy traditional and handwork products that you won’t find in another place.

If you wish to known the popular culture and try to contact with the common people I suggest you to visit these places and keep conversations with them. If you can spend and pay in expensive places, you would go to the snow/ski centres like “Colorado” or “Farellones”.
Well, I passed a good time talking about Santiago.
See you..

Greetings…
