Review of Lima
Lima
Flights to Lima reveal a rich tapestry of colonial traditions, mysterious ancient civilizations and contemporary living.
Things to do
Wander along the jagged cliffs and mosaic-tiled paths of Parque del Amor, passing canoodling couples on your way. At dusk, foolhardy adventurers, strapped to motor-powered parachutes, launch themselves over the Pacific towards the setting sun.
Shopping
Travel to Lima's chic Miraflores district for its outdoor handicrafts market. Colourful displays of indigenous wares, live folkloric music and the enticing smell of roasted almonds create an enchanting atmosphere.
Restaurants
Take Lima flights and enjoy fresh Peruvian seafood served in shady colonial-era patios near the historic centre's San Francisco church. Savour classic Tiradito - fine strips of fish marinated in lime and chillies.
Nightlife
An animated artsy scene surrounds Lima's main square in bohemian Barranco. Sip a refreshing Pisco Sour cocktail in a dark-wood jazz bar and celebrate your Lima city break in style.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Lima. Time your holiday in Lima to catch top events like October's Procession of the Lord of Miracles or July's Independence day celebrations.
