What makes Lima distinct

Use the historic center and a focused museum visit to understand the cultures that shaped Peru before continuing elsewhere. Coastal districts add clifftop walks, contemporary galleries and restaurants, but crossing the city takes time.

How to plan the visit

Treat arrival and departure days honestly. Choose accommodation around the visits and airport movements that matter, then decide whether Lima is a one-night gateway or a fuller cultural chapter.
