Sobre este Tip
If you’re coming to Lima looking to dive into its vibrant history and art, the Historic Center is a must-visit. Here, religious architecture isn't just about faith; it’s a living museum of the viceregal era, featuring icons like the Cathedral of Lima, the San Francisco Convent, and the San Pedro and La Merced churches. A pro tip: dedicate at least a full day to walking its streets. The cost is minimal—many churches are free to enter and the convent museums have very low fees—but the visual wealth and the history you'll experience are priceless.
