Santiago is the capital and largest city of Chile as well as one of the largest cities in the Americas. The city, founded in 1541, has a downtown core of 19th-century neoclassical architecture and winding side-streets, dotted by art deco, neo-gothic, and other styles. The Andes Mountains can be seen from most points in the city. The city outskirts are surrounded by vineyards and Santiago is within an hour of both the mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

Dynamic and cosmopolitan Santiago is a vital and versatile city. Set out to explore the city streets and you’ll discover beautiful and original art galleries, design shops and handicraft markets, as well as a great selection of restaurants, bars and cafes. The Chilean capital breathes new life into all its visitors!
