This subject is quite fascinating for me... because unlike many of "santiaguinos" that really dont appreciate the city where they live in either for their stressing type pf living or because they are used to see the same view all days I really enjoy a lot of good and amazing places in Santiago.
The most magic place to me to visit is "Barrio Lastarria" is in the center of the city near to "U.catolica" underground station. There are a lot of coffee shop and unique restaurants. In the middle there is a beautiful church, a museum and a little Antique Fair with a lot of old books and old stuff.Other place that I visit very often is the "Bellas Artes Museum" is a very special place and always have good exhibitions, plus is in the middle of "Parque Forestal" so all the atmosphere is good!.
Another good place is "Cerro Santa Lucia" is a green spot in the middle of many building.Is a history place as well, you can do a very good tour going there, also there is a Mapuche`s Fair down the hill so I really enjoy going there. Another hill that is very nice to visit is "Cerro San Cristobal" there is a Telesferico to climb to the hilltop if you enter by Pedro de Valdivia Norte from there you can see all the city so is an amazing way to know how the city look from the top :D but is you accede by Pio Nono you can find a Zoo in the same hill :). The last place that every tourist have to visit and even ourself is "La moneda" especially now that have built a sort of museum under the palace.I enjoy walk in that area and go to cultural center too.
I chose this places because there are full of our history, good architecture and each one identified the esscence of our city. This way every tourist or the chilean people never be bored in such beautiful city ;)
