Lima
Peru's capital, Lima, is referred to as the City of Kings, and its illustrious past is reflected in buildings within the historical centre where you'll find many impressive examples of grand colonial architecture, including a striking cathedral, mansions, churches and grand plazas. The verdant garden districts' of Miraflores and San Isidro are upmarket residential areas south of the centre which offer excellent shopping, art galleries, bars and restaurants, as well as many hotels and easy access to the Pacific Ocean. With these stylish and historical areas, and the ruined pre-Inca pyramids and temples to the south of the city, Lima encapsulates the mix of traditional and modern-day cultures which exists throughout Peru.
