Currently considered one of the best destinations to go this year, Santiago is a city that promises excellent gastronomy, world-class hotel options and an incredible selection of cultural activities that you can do during day while enjoying the spectacular mountain landscape that surrounds Chile’s capital.
Santiago is a dynamic and hip city with a growing cultural offer that’s also centered in quality and variety. Perhaps one of the most interesting examples of this is the Museo de la Moda, a privately funded museum located in the district of Vitacura that specializes fashion. It has a permanent collection of 10.000 pieces of different fashion elements that range from clothing to objects and even memorabilia (typically 800 objects are featured in an exposition). Here you can see 1960´s suits that belonged to The Beatles, a jacket and hat from Elvis, a scarf used by Jimmy Hendrix, a dress worn by Princess Diana in 1981 and awards and items that belonged to different rock stars.
Exquisite gastronomy and high fashion go together in Santiago. In the capital’s exclusive and prestigious street Alonso de Cordova you can see top fashion stores, art museums that present modern, classic and experimental art –they also tend do night events- and of course, high level cuisine restaurants, where you can taste and eat delicious dishes accompanied by Chilean red or white wines from the Central Valley.
Other points of interests in Santiago, include visits to the Santa Lucia Hill, the San Cristobal Hill, the bohemian Bellavista neighborhood –excellent restaurants-, the must see Pueblito Los Dominicos for local crafts and the Museo Nacional Bellas Artes (MNBA) for a more traditional look of Chilean and world art, with expositions that feature colonial art with a religious theme, a collection of Spanish paintings from the XVII and XX century and some works by Chilean surrealist painter Roberto Matta.
