Santiago, day by day
Santiago is a capital with the Andes standing over the end of every street: a presidential palace you can tour for free, two hills inside the city, Neruda's house, the tallest tower in South America and a fish market that doubles as a restaurant. Start with three days that walk the centre, climb San Cristóbal and take the museums, with the prices and hours the institutions publish for 2026.
