Lima
A third of Peru's population live in Lima, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Remnants of Lima's colonial heyday remain today in downtown Lima, such as San Francisco church founded in 1535 and La Merced whose earliest construction predates the founding of Lima. Visit the Plaza Mayor or main square, flanked by the Government Palace, the City Hall and the Cathedral.
Modern Lima is a mix of architectural styles and beautiful gardens. The fashionable residential and commercial districts of Miraflores and San Isidro have an abundance of excellent shops, art galleries and restaurants. Barranco, home to Lima's best-known artists and writers, is filled with bars and nightclubs.
