Plaza Mayor ( Lima Main Square ) |
Also known as the Plaza de Armas, exploring this picturesque square is one of the top things to do in Lima. The in this pic you can see the main cathedral of Lima . This square is bordered by a significant building on each of its four sides: a presidential palace, a cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, and City Hall. Pulling up a chair in one of the plaza’s many cafes and watching the world go by is one of the top Lima activities available. Lima is fascinating in every aspect. There’s so much to see that it’s hard to figure where to start your discovery of Lima attractions. You might want to begin with taking a stroll or horse drawn carriage through Plaza Mayor. The square itself is built on an ancient Inca site. It’s home to the Museum of Religious Art and Treasures, the Governmental Palace, Town Hall and the Archbishop’s Palace. |
Catacombs ( church san francisco )
Paying a visit to the catacombs of the Iglesia de San Francisco easily ranks among the top things to do in Lima. More than 25,000 skeletons can be seen here, along with a library that’s so beautifully eerie it seems to have stepped out of a fantasy film. An on-site monastery and art gallery round off the list of Lima attractions offered by this memorable church. |
lima beach
The beaches are visited during the summer months ( january , february and March ), the beaches which are located along the Pan-American Highway, to the south of the city in districts such as Lurin, Punta Hermosa, Santa María del Mar (Peru), San Bartolo and Asia.

Here you’ll find crumbling temples, with an on-site museum to explain the history. For visitors preparing to trek off in search of Peru’s great Andean sights, Pachacamac provides a great taste of what is to come. |
Puente suspiros barranco
Barranco is Lima’s liveliest neighborhood, similar to San Blas in Cusco. Cafes, bars, and clubs are in abundance here, with plenty of options to keep you hopping from one to the other all day. There’s also a good variety of dining options that can be found in Barranco, while a weekly food festival also takes place here over the weekends. One of the top activities in Lima is to head to Barranco for this festival and enjoy a day of live music and food tasting.

This district has many acclaimed restaurants, music venues called "peñas" featuring the traditional folk music of coastal Peru (in Spanish, "música criolla"), and beautiful Victorian-style chalets. It along with Miraflores serves as the home to the foreign nightlife scene. |
