Free Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll begin this free tour of Santiago de Chile at the Plaza de Armas, in front of the Museum of National History. This tour will not include entrances to any museums, palaces, or monuments; instead, we will admire their architecture from outside and learn their history.

After a brief introduction, we'll stroll toward the Palacio de los Tribunales de Justicia de Santiago (Courts of Justice Palace of Santiago) and the Former National Congress Building. We will then continue our free tour with the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art and Palacio de la Moneda (La Moneda Palace), the current headquarters of the President of Chile.

Next, we'll visit the Larraín Palace, known for its Neo-Rococo and Art Nouveau architecture. We will hop on the metro to Barrio París-Londres and explore three notable monuments: the Palacio de la Bolsa de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange Palace), the Edificio Ariztía, and the San Francisco Church.

Continuing, we will stop in front of the Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Municipal Theatre of Santiago), near Cerro de Santa Lucía. We will then head to Forestal Park to admire the National Museum of Fine Arts in its Art Nouveau style.

Finally, after approximately 2.5 hours, we will conclude the tour in Lastarria, one of the most bohemian neighborhoods in the Chilean capital.
