Things to Do in Lima District

Lima was founded in 1535 by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro and remains the largest city in South America by metropolitan area.

The historic centre of Lima is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to over 1,600 monuments spanning colonial, republican, and modern periods.

Lima's culinary scene has earned it recognition as the gastronomic capital of South America, with Peruvian cuisine blending indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences.

The city sits on the central coast of Peru where the Andes meet the Pacific, creating a unique micro-climate that rarely experiences rain.

Miraflores district features dramatic clifftop parks overlooking the ocean, making it one of the most photographed neighbourhoods in South America.

Lima's Museum of Italian Art (MAI) houses the world's largest private collection of Italian artwork outside Italy.
