You have to know...

Santiago is an attractive city that owns great amount for the foreign tourists. In my opinion a tourist must visit in his demurrage by the capital is the Bellavista District. The Bellavista district is a sector of the city of Santiago of Chile, located between the North shore of the river Mapocho and the Hill San Cristóbal, with the street Pío Nono like spine. In his beginnings it was a catholic and aristocratic zone, whereas nowadays great Bohemian, cultural centers and international gastronomy coexist.

In the district encue the House " The Chascona" of Pablo Neruda, the property of the poet is the Hill San Cristobal near. In this property it coexisted next to his last wife, Matilde Urrutia. Today this turned into museum, is possible to visit every day except Mondays.

Another attractiveness that is very recommendable is the Funicular one in the Metropolitan park of Santiago, at the end of the street Pio Nono is the funicular one that it arrives at the summit from the hill San Cristobal. The Metropolitan Park of Santiago is formed by all the Hill San Cristobal and his adjacent lands and within his facilities the zoological national is located.

As far as gastronomy which I recommend it is the sector orients of the bellavista District, specifically in the street Constitution between Dardignac and Antonia Lopez of Beautiful are restaurants of high kitchen that offer one varied gastronomy. Also the Central Market hubicado in the apple defined by the streets Bridge, Ismael Valdéz Vergara, 21 of May and San Pablo, in the commune of Santiago, nowadays is a place recognized by its exquisite gastronomy, where it has been known to conserve ancestral Creole prescriptions, comprising of the National Patrimony.
