Santiago - the capital of Chile. I think you yourself understand that this is something incredible! Impressive the majestic skyscrapers in the business center of the city. Gorgeous branded things in every store that cost is noticeably cheaper than in other countries. Markets and trading areas and even whole arena, on the shelves of which you will be able to find everything that the soul wishes - from socks to souvenirs, from furniture to luxury branded shoes with a huge discount. In the heart of Santiago's business center at Tabalaba Metro Station (Tabalaba), you can easily find the largest shopping center in South America, it's impossible to go past him, because it looks very impressive - a skyscraper with a hundred floors resting in the sky ..
In the capital of Chile, there are quite a lot of entertainment for tourists and locals, in the form of non-residential vintage castles and viewing sites from which a wonderful, very breathtaking view of the city's business center. If you are not going to relax in Santiago, but just passing there, for example, you have a transfer at the airport and have free 5-10 hours, I advise you to visit 2 highest points in the city - Serro San Cristobal (Sierro San Cristobal) and Serro Santa Lucia (Sierro Santa Lusia). But keep in mind that a more impressive first mountain, it is higher and you can see more from it + there is a lift, if you have little time free or you just laziness to rise on your feet.
If you drive about 2 hours from the city, you can find yourself on a magic beach, to eat in a wonderful restaurant fish caught in your eyes and grilled specially for you.
If the time is less than 7 hours you have, you can get on the subway, go out at Universedad De Chill (Plaza de Armas), you can eat fresh fish from the market, a huge number of restaurants and cafes inexpensive - All this under the roof. But I did not like it there, a huge crowd of people, a foolot and a cold at the same time, smells, to put it mildly, not Comilfo. But if you do not care about all these little things, then you will like it there. In general, it is possible not to eat, but just to see and try. We did not eat there, I'll immediately say. The form of complete anti-sanitation. In general, sushi and pizza are prepared at every corner and it costs it is not so expensive. Sushi I tried myself personally, the tasty is unreal! Every day only them and rushed. Also, the travelers who missed seeds, very much will like Santiago - here they are, and in fairly large packages and not so expensive!
It is better to come in September, at this time the summer starts and it becomes warm. Until September, frequent rains and at night the temperature is very low plus, without a heater will not be easy. The wind is strong. We left the capital of the number on September 15, 2014, on the last day it was hot in T-shirts and jeans. In the shade normally. Well, it is already individually if you like so you can come in late August-early September. In October, the frank heat begins.
All tourist entertainment, restaurants are located at Baquedano Metro Station (Baquedano), including Sierro San Cristobal surveying site. Next, go to the La Moneda metro station (La Moneda) Palace of La Monda and monument in honor of Salvador Alende (Salvador Aliende).
Ladies Little advice, Hotel Book in advance always. Most sites provide services without prior payment, for example, Buking.kom (Booking.com) will be more reliable and coming out of the airport, you can immediately stretch the sheet with the address taxi driver, which will be delivered to you. Always watch the number before paying for it. If you refuse to show the number, then you do not need to risk, it is worth looking for another hotel with more accommodating staff. If you still decide to stay in such a hotel, then do not be surprised then and do not complain about the forums that you had a spoiled vacation because of unpleasant trifles, in the form of dirty bed linen or lack of a separate soul and toilet .. If you are important Have a good Internet, I advise him to check it before check-in, at least within a few minutes to make sure that the service is. If the hotel is normal, no one will refuse to you in these simple things. Always check the presence of a towel, one person should be 1 body towel and 1 for the face. Some hotels are laying 1 towel to the foot floor - this is normal.
Never pay repeatedly for any services that you did not order. For example, we were trying to come up with a fine for frequent use of gas for a heater (here gas heaters in all hotels). We paid exactly as much as accommodation cost. No penny. If you pay more, then you will pull out a little money every day and then it will be more complicated to deny it, because The arguments will be all convincing.
