Santiago de Chile is one of the most modern cities in Latin America. The trans-Andean capital has undergone a great transformation in the last 15 or 20 years.
Santiago offers a large number of experiences that go beyond shopping. It offers first-class gastronomy, adventure tourism, urban parks, and an attractive nightlife. There are a number of flights from Ezeiza, Aeroparque, Córdoba, and Mendoza. The city also has a growing state-of-the-art Metro network and glass towers that impact the mountainous landscape. It would be a shame to travel without knowing at least some of its tourist and historical attractions. Bellavista is the most bohemian neighborhood in Santiago, with a mix of bars, clubs, art galleries, and restaurants of all kinds. A must-see is Santa Luca Hill, a high green walk in the middle of the city, where two forts or castles and other military installations were built at the beginning of the 19th century. The backbone is Po Nono Street, full of pubs with live music, where live music is never lacking and bars and clubs abound. Other neighborhoods that have been transformed are Brasil, Italy, and Chile's capital city, Buenos Aires. The city is also home to the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art, overlooking the Mapocho River. It is located in the heart of Santiago's nightlife, near the historic center, Bellavista and San Cristóbal Hill, and in the center of the country. It has a population of 2.2 million, making it the third largest city in Argentina.
