when we visit the main church in a capital city we expect it to have great art, wonderful sightlines, an altar complete with paintings and sculptures, large yet intricate stained glass pieces, murals and frescos on the interior ceiling or dome and a massive pipe organ. We expect this but some churches are just more awe -inspring than others. This cathedral has everything and more. Beautiful side chapels, carved pulpit and an open an airy feeling because of the interior height. Well worth the visit

Santiago is a wonderful city. Terrific restaurants and many wonderful sights to see but the night we went to the ballet was one I will never forget. The theater is magnificent, reminiscent of the Paris Opers House. We had lovely seats and were shocked by how inexpensive they were. I have seen ballet performances all around the world but their production of Raymonda was breathtaking. The costumes and sets were lavish. The company was one of the finest I’ve ever seen. Go!

An ultra modern, beautiful museum with the most fascinating display of Chilean treasures, and not only. The amazing exhibits include pottery, sculpture, jewelry and textiles from the Chilean territory as well as from central America. We followed the free English tour (which was excellent) for about half hour and then we wondered through the floors on our own. Make sure you don’t miss the room with the textiles, which is part of the permanent exhibition. It is a room on the first floor, usually dark with revolving doors in order to preserve the artworks. Truly amazing.

Be sure to catch the changing of the guard, which takes place every other day at 10AM here in Chile's most formal plaza.
Reviewed By WorldTravelers34 - Chicago, United States
We walked around this area many times during a recent visit to Santiago. The plaza is where you can find locals taking casual walks and simply absorbing every ounce of historical architecture in the buildings that line it. Plaza de La Constitucion is located in front of the northern facade of the Palacio de la Moneda and is surrounded by other government buildings such as those housing the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Banco Central de Chile and the Intendencia de Santiago. Designed by the Italian architect Joaquín Toesca and built in the late 18th century, the Palacio de la Moneda is said to be one of the finest neoclassical buildings in South America. Originally intended as the Royal Mint, today the palace houses the Chilean presidential offices.
