Known as the “City of Kings”, Lima’s historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its impressive carved wooden balconies and baroque architecture will transport you back in time. These are the must-sees:
Historical
The heart of the city. Here you will find the Government Palace, the imposing Cathedral of Lima, and the Archbishop’s Palace.

Mystery
Beneath the church lies a subterranean labyrinth that served as the ancient cemetery of the city during viceregal times.

Avoid visiting the historical center on Sunday afternoons, as many museums and churches close early. Weekday mornings are ideal.
Just minutes away from Miraflores, Barranco is the romantic and artistic district of Lima. Colorful streets, impressive murals, and republican mansions converted into cafes and bars.
Tradition
An iconic wooden bridge wrapped in legends. Tradition says that if you cross it holding your breath, your wish will come true.
Walking
A beautiful cobblestone path that descends towards the Pacific Ocean, flanked by old ranches and spectacular street art.
Lima is much more than a layover city. Exploring the viceregal secrets of its historical center and ending the day with a Pisco Sour facing the sea in Barranco is an experience that will complete your trip to Peru.
