SantiagoThe Chilean capital is located in the country’s central region, on parallel 33º south. It is the most populous city in the country (6,061,185 inhabitants, according to the 2002 census) and is its political, economic, industrial and cultural center.

Santiago has entered the world stage as one of the most modern cities on the continent, with good business opportunities and as an increasingly attractive tourism destination.

The city’s growing offering of gastronomy, cultural tours, night-life, entertainment and accommodation are all set within the framework of a privileged location - just a few kilometers from beaches, snow and wine routes.

General InformationClimate: High-altitude Mediterranean, temperate. In sum-mer, temperatures range between 15º and 34ºC, and in winter, between 0º and 18ºC. Precipitation is concentrated during the winter months, between May and September, with an annual average of 380 mm.

Safety: Within South America, Santiago is one of the safest capital cities. However, it’s always recommendable to avoid having overtly valuable items on show and to be aware of your pockets and purses.

Banks: Banks are open from 9am to 2pm. To exchange money, it’s best to visit an official money exchange location, known as “Casas de Cambio,” which are generally open between 9am and 6pm.

(www.cementeriogeneral.cl), the Iglesia de la Recoleta Domíni-ca, and the Vega Central, where 1,200 stalls supply the city with fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and household goods.

Barrio El Golf (see overleaf F1 and F2 )The city’s financial district, with a thriving cultural scene along the avenues El Bosque Norte and Isidora Goyenechea, is home to international brand-name stores, restaurants, wine boutiques, cafés and a wide range of services. Each Sunday, an antique fair sets up in Plaza Perú.

Barrio Vitacura (see overleaf G1 and G2 )The most exclusive commercial neighborhood in Santiago, and the site of important international organizations like ECLAC, FAO and ESO. Especially noteworthy is Av. Alonso de Córdova, with designer stores, art galleries, boutiques and restaurants, where cutting-edge style and luxury reigns supreme. Nearby, the Museo de la Moda features exhibits on fashion and important collections of clothing and accessories (www.museodelamoda.cl).

Barrio Huemul (South Santiago)In celebration of the Centennial in 1910, builders began working on a “model city” for workers, vendors and public employees, using high-quality materials and cement instead of adobe in the construction. It was the first satellite city in the country, with schools, a theater, a parish and a library. The neighborhood became a symbol of a new type of social life outside the capital’s downtown.

Barrio Centro Histórico (see overleaf C2 )The capital’s historic center concentrates the city’s historical, archi-tectural and cultural heritage. Museums, skyscrapers, churches, plazas, handicraft markets and traditional restaurants jostle along-side the daily pace of city life, revealing the city’s history and the cultural identity of its people. Standout attractions include the Plaza de Armas, with some of the city’s oldest buildings; the Paris-Londres neighborhood, with a European-style market and narrow, windy cobblestone streets; and Cerro Santa Lucía, the hill where the city was founded in 1541.

Barrio Bellas Artes - Lastarria (see overleaf C2 and D2 )An important cultural and gastronomic hot spot where cafés and restaurants mingle with cultural centers, theaters, art ga-lleries, design shops, book stores, antique shops and museums.The neighborhood also encompasses places like the Mercado Central. The lively marketplace selling traditional local dishes; Parque Forestal, the national epicenter of cultural exhibitions; and a number of museums and cultural centers like the Museo de Bellas Artes (www.mnba.cl) and the Museo de Arte Contem-poráneo.

Barrio Bellavista (see overleaf D2 )The heart of artistic bohemian life in the capital, offering art, fine dining and plenty of nightlife. The neighborhood boasts bouti-que stores, art galleries, quality handicraft stores, cafés and first class restaurants.Especially noteworthy is the literary museum in the former hou-se of Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda, the Casa Museo

La Chascona (www.fundacionneruda.org). At the end of Pío Nono street, you can take an old funicular up to the summit of Cerro San Cristóbal hill (Parque Metropolitano).

Barrio Yungay - Barrio Brasil - Concha y Toro (see overleaf B1 and B2)This cluster of neighborhoods displays the decadence of the capital’s wealthy upper-classes at the turn of the 19th century. By the 1940s, the upper-classes had mostly migrated to the eas-tern sectors of the city, leaving behind their stately homes and mansions. Today, the three areas have been reborn with an ar-tistic and bohemian spirit, with cultural centers, universities, museums, cafés, bars and restaurants.

Barrio Quinta Normal (see overleaf A1 and B2 )The neighborhood shelters an impressive stretch of green spaces and cultural sites. Especially noteworthy: the natural history museum, Museo de Historia Natural (www.mnhn.cl); the railway museum Museo Ferroviario; the city library Biblioteca de Santiago (www.biblioteca-santiago.cl); the human rights and memory museum Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos (www.museodela-memoria.cl) and the cultural center Matucana Cien (www.m100.cl)

Barrio La Chimba (see overleaf C1 and D2 )The “Chimba” was the name given to the northern bank of the Mapocho River in colonial times, when it was populated with indigenous people and mixed-race “mestizos.” Later, craftspeo-ple, convents and monasteries moved into town, and today, it is home to the neighborhoods of Independencia and Recoleta. Make sure to visit iconic places like the General Cemetery
