"Follow the Mapocho River, where you can take a ride on the ferry or the cable car that takes you up the hill [San Cristóbal Hill]. This is a great spot to catch the sunset and enjoy an amazing view of the city and the river."

"There is an open mall with some new and excellent restaurants. Fukasawa, for example, is a Chilean-style restaurant where you can get really nice produce, and also La Calma, where you can get the best seafood. This area also has a nice park, where you can walk all the way to Providencia, following the river."

"I would take friends to the Central Market La Vega, which is the largest market in the city. It’s a great way to start exploring the local culture. It’s a multicultural place with fresh produce and food from all over the world."

"Franklin is another young and new neighborhood in Santiago, similar to the Meatpacking District in New York, with small independent shops, restaurants and galleries. This area is unique because it’s away from the typical tourist spots, making it interesting to explore."

"Santiago has a thriving restaurant scene, and there are always pop-up art events happening throughout the city. Italia is a young and trendy area with great galleries and food."
