The streets are busy with sellers of books and maps and antiques and lots of other items and there are wonderful restaurants and bars as well. We stayed in this area 2 years ago and loved it - a happening place a night, and frankly during the day as well. We have been going back each day to try a new restaurant. It backs up to the GAM museum and is a fun place to wander. Check out Jose Ramon for artisenal Evers and good burgers, Bocanariz for 250 different option of Chilean wines and wonderful food, or a number of other street side restaurants offering food, beer or ice cream. You will keep going back!

4. Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2,040 reviews
This museum is home to one of the world's largest collections of paintings, sculptures and tapestries of renowned artist Jean Lucrat.
Reviewed By ASU_DrK - Phoenix, United States
I must admit, the art collection itself rates a "very good" at best, but considering it is the national museum, an "average" rating is perhaps more appropriate. The main reason I gave the museum an excellent rating was due to the incredibly gorgeous architecture of the structure itself. I fell in love with this stunningly beautiful building, and returned twice (admission is free) to admire it inside and out. The museum is a short walk from the main plaza downtown, so take the stroll, and spend an hour walking around and within this architectural treasure. Well worth it!

They say that the best way to know the heart if a city is visiting its public market. Tha architecture is old and unique, stands with colorful and delicious fruit, fresh seafood, small and big restaurants offering typical dishes and the people working there, the best of all.
