I just leave a quick reply.
>stay west of Terminal de buses Santiago
>bars, restaurants and stuff are around the universidad de chile and universidad catolica subway station
>same area is Castillo Hidalgo, worth the little hike for some nice pics
>best view, shopping and lot of nice restaurants are located at the Sky Costanera (tallest building in SA) it's a short walk from the Tobalaba subway station
>consider a day trip to Valparaiso/Vina del Mar. it's a 2h bus ride from the Universidad de Santiago metro station (Terminal de buses Santiago) and the price per ride is about $3. Just book a return trip from turbus or Pullman at their counter a day in advance so you won't get stuck there.

thxs bruh. I'm staying in Las Condes, if that helps you give me more tips and pointers

>>1239357
I actually don't know Santiago that much, I just regularly pass by on my way down to Vina/Valpo and back home.
I can tell you that you stay in one of the nicest areas of STGO so it should be easy to find some comfy places using tripadvisor.

Go to Barrio Lastarria. It's a pretty place near to Centro Cultural GAM where you can see plays and art. Also it's full of cafés, restaurants and bars you could check out.
Have an ice cream at Emporio La Rosa and go to Bellas Artes Museum. It's next to Forestal Park.
If you wanna party or something go to Barrio Bellavista or Patio Bellavista if you have lots of money. In the last one you can also shop shit.

Also there's Cerro San Cristobal where you can take a cable car and have a nice view of the city.
At Las Condes you can go to Parque natural Aguas de Ramón and Parque Bicentenario. And don't miss Costanera Center, obviously.

Have a nice time here!

its a website that connects hosts with volunteers. im in this grand old house in providencia helping out with reconstruction. leaving for the south soon. havent been out yet here in santiago so im looking to check out the scene this weekend if ur interested

Providencia has some cool pubs, it's kind of your typical hipster stuff, but they're mostly safe

Reviving this thread.

I'm going to Easter Island in November, obviously I'm going to spend a day or two in Santiago before heading out. Is Santiago like a food town? Sightseeing? What do you do there?

yo where are the hipster thrift stores at? i wanna buy some nice clothes (looking for a camo jacket)

Sightseeing, basically.

>>1240981
Chile has the shitties food of all latin america. If you want reasonable food there, go to a Peruvian restaurant.

Virtually no worth-while sightseeing in Santiago.

t. Someone who lived a year in Santiago and enjoyed it a lot. (Not a Peruvian btw)

What did you enjoy? Was there a good bar scene or something?

Sup. Santiaguino here. Ask me anything.

The Santa Lucia hill and the San Cristobal hill are very good places to wander around and see the full city, also very tourist friendly, the San Cristobal hill has an old Observatory that's the first in south america called the Foster observatory.

I don't know if that's your thing but I like it.

You get the best view from the big skyscraper

it's the tallest one in south america and i think also has the biggest shopping center. bought some new nikes there, fucking expensive
