The City of Kings, as Lima has been known as since its foundation in 1535, has evolved through centuries to become a vibrant city full of contrasts. Today, the former capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru, is a modern city overflowing with life and history, and has become the commercial, financial, cultural, and political centre of the country. This multicultural metropolis offers a large range of option to enjoy bars, casinos and nightclubs, museums, theatres, art galleries and shopping centres. The Limenean architecture is a faithful reflection of the changes and mixture that enrich the city, and walking around the different neighbourhoods is the equivalent of walking through the different historic eras of the capital: The Historic Centre, with its colonial buildings; Barranco, old seaside retreat with its romantic and bohemian air; San Isidro, the modern financial centre and more. But if there is something you can’t miss in this city is trying its worldwide famous cuisine. Lima has earn the distinction of “Gastronomic Capital of South America” for the incredible variety, creativity and flavour of its exquisite dishes. Indulge your palate eating, for example, in one of the exclusive restaurants close to the beach in the traditional district of Miraflores and have one of the best culinary experiences of your life.
