Lima, the bustling capital of Peru, is unfortunately often overlooked when visiting Peru, but actually offers a surprising mix of colonial grandeur, lively city squares, and delicious street food. During a city tour, you'll discover the city's most beautiful highlights: 🏛 Plaza Mayor - with its iconic yellow buildings and imposing cathedral. 🏤 Colonial architecture - charming facades, wooden balconies, and hidden courtyards. 🐴 Plaza San Martín - with the statue of Peru's liberator. The city is perfectly explorable on foot or with a guide. A free tour can be booked at limabywalking.com and starts in the historic center, at the Gran Hotel Bolivar. Every day from Monday to Saturday at 11 am and lasts about 2 hours. The tour is conducted in English and Spanish, and you pay what you find appropriate. Insider tip: If you have some time left after your visit? Then definitely grab a drink or a bite at Moyas Restaurant (open daily from 11 am to 8 pm). From their (small) terrace (so be early), you have a splendid view of the Plaza de Armas.
