Key Facts

The Plaza de Armas is one of the first places you'll want to visit. See the Government Palace that the president calls home. To get a feel for the area's rich heritage, take a tour of the Cathedral and spend time in the museum.

You will also want to visit the Peruvian House of literature for a greater appreciation of the country's culture, and be sure to set aside some time for the Larco Museum. The collection includes ceramic, metal and textile items that date back as far as 3,000 years.

Hints and Tips

As an old city originally settled centuries ago, Lima has several unique districts rather than a central historic district. If you want to see more of the city, you'll need to give yourself time to get around. Many of the top attractions are on squares, giving you access to several shops, restaurants like Central Restaurante, as well as nightlife hot spots.
