Top 10 Things to Do in Santiago
Santiago is a vibrant Andean capital that punches well above its weight in gastronomy, wine culture, and urban design, with the snow-capped Andes providing a dramatic backdrop visible from the city center on clear days. Chile's capital blends world-class contemporary art museums and craft cocktail bars with colonial plazas and a thriving literary culture. Day trips to the country's greatest wineries and coastal cities make Santiago one of South America's finest base camps for exploration.
