# Top 10 Things To Do in Lima

Lima, Peru · South America · By Wimup Editorial, 15 min read

Lima is a capital of eleven million people built on a desert that almost never rains, wedged between the Pacific and the Andean foothills under a lid of low cloud for half the year. Pizarro founded it in 1535 and ran the Spanish empire in South America from it, which is why the centre carries a World Heritage listing.

## Quick answer

Give the first day to the Centro Histórico on foot: Plaza Mayor, the cathedral, the balconies on Jirón Áncash and the catacombs under San Francisco, finishing at the fountains once it is dark. Day two belongs to the coast: Huaca Pucllana, the Malecón and Barranco, then Museo Larco. Keep the third for Pachacamac. Eat ceviche at lunch, never at dinner.

## Quick facts

- **Best months:** Dec · Jan · Feb · Mar
- **Ideal length:** 3 days
- **Budget per day:** $55–115
- **Language:** Spanish
- **Getting around:** Taxis, apps & the Metropolitano
- **Tourism board:** [Official site](https://www.peru.travel/en?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## The 10 best things to do in Lima

### 1. Museo Larco

Museum · Av. Simón Bolívar 1515, Pueblo Libre

The clearest single explanation of 5,000 years of Peruvian history, inside an 18th-century mansion built over a pre-Columbian pyramid. Rafael Larco Hoyle began collecting in 1926, and the museum opens its storerooms, so tens of thousands of catalogued vessels sit on shelves you can walk between. The gold gallery is the room people talk about.

- **Time:** 2 hours
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Late afternoon
- **Tip:** Do this on your first full day. Everything else in the city, from Huaca Pucllana to Pachacamac, reads better once the chronology is in your head.

### 2. Huaca Pucllana

Archaeological site · Calle General Borgoño cuadra 8 s/n, Miraflores

A seven-tiered adobe pyramid of the Lima culture, built from around 500 AD and now surrounded on all sides by Miraflores apartment blocks. The bricks are the interesting part: small, hand-made and stood on end with gaps between them, so the structure flexes rather than shears when the ground moves. Excavation is still running, so the site changes.

- **Time:** 1 hour 30
- **Cost:** Ticketed, guide included
- **Best at:** After dark, when the pyramid is lit
- **Tip:** Visits run as guided groups in Spanish or English, and the evening slots are by reservation. Check the current circuit before crossing town for one.

### 3. Plaza Mayor and the Centro Histórico

Historic centre · Plaza Mayor, Cercado de Lima

The square Pizarro laid out in 1535, and the administrative heart of Spanish South America for three hundred years. The Palacio de Gobierno takes one side, the cathedral another, and the carved cedar balconies are the signature the city is known for. Walk it as a loop rather than a checklist, north to Plaza San Martín.

- **Time:** Half a day
- **Cost:** Free to walk
- **Best at:** Weekday mornings
- **Tip:** The changing of the presidential guard happens at midday in front of the palace. Stand on the Jirón Carabaya side, where the railings are lower.

### 4. Basílica y Convento de San Francisco

Church and catacombs · Plazuela San Francisco, Jr. Lampa and Jr. Áncash, Cercado de Lima

Begun in 1546 and rebuilt after the earthquakes that flattened most of colonial Lima, this is the complex UNESCO inscribed in 1988. The cloisters are lined in Sevillian azulejos, but the catacombs are what people come for: the city cemetery until the early 1800s, with skulls and femurs stacked into geometric wells under the nave.

- **Time:** 1 hour
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Late morning
- **Tip:** The catacombs are seen on a guided circuit with low ceilings and uneven floors. Skip it if tight spaces are a problem; the cloisters and the library are worth the ticket on their own.

### 5. Barranco and the Puente de los Suspiros

Neighborhood · Bajada de Baños, Barranco

The old seaside resort of Lima's republican elite, now the district that holds the galleries, the murals, the best bars and two of the best restaurants in the country. The Puente de los Suspiros was inaugurated in 1876 and rebuilt after the Chilean occupation. Take the bajada down to the beach rather than doubling back.

- **Time:** 3 hours
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Late afternoon into the evening
- **Tip:** Barranco is compact enough to do on foot from the Museo Pedro de Osma at one end to Central at the other, which is about fifteen minutes of walking.

### 6. Central and the Barranco tasting rooms

Restaurant · Av. Pedro de Osma 301, Barranco

Virgilio Martínez and Pía León run two restaurants out of one Barranco building. Central organises its menu by altitude, from Pacific seafloor to above 4,000 metres, and was named The World's Best Restaurant in 2023. Kjolle upstairs is not the consolation prize. Maido, the Nikkei room in Miraflores, took the same title in 2025.

- **Time:** 3 hours
- **Cost:** Tasting menu, booked ahead
- **Best at:** Book weeks before you fly
- **Tip:** If both are full, Mayta, Mérito and Astrid y Gastón are cooking at a level that would headline most other capitals.

### 7. Malecón de Miraflores

Clifftop park · Malecón de la Reserva, Miraflores

A chain of clifftop parks running for kilometres above the Pacific, seventy-odd metres up on a bluff of loose conglomerate. The Parque del Amor is the centre of it, with Victor Delfín's El Beso on the grass and mosaic benches carrying Peruvian poetry. Paragliders launch straight off the cliff and turn overhead.

- **Time:** 2 hours
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Sunset
- **Tip:** The cliff edge is where the grey burns off first. If the day is overcast inland, walk the malecón anyway; it is often clear over the water.

### 8. Santuario Arqueológico de Pachacamac

Archaeological site · Antigua Panamericana Sur km 31.5, Lurín

The pilgrimage site of the coast, more than 465 hectares of temples and plazas above the Lurín valley, in continuous use for around 1,500 years until 1533. Pachacamac was an oracle powerful enough that the Inca absorbed it rather than replaced it. The site museum holds the wooden idol and is the right place to start.

- **Time:** Half a day
- **Cost:** Ticketed
- **Best at:** Morning, before the haze sets in
- **Tip:** It is a 31 kilometre drive south of the centre and there is no shade on the site. Take water and a hat, and give the return leg an hour of traffic.

Links: [Website](https://pachacamac.cultura.pe/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 9. Mercado No 1 de Surquillo

Market · Jr. Narciso de la Colina, Surquillo

Cross the footbridge over the Vía Expresa from Miraflores and you are in the market the city's cooks actually use. Peru grows produce in three climates at once, and this is where that lands in one hall: dozens of potato varieties, Amazon fruit, and a wall of chillies that explains most Peruvian cooking on its own.

- **Time:** 1 hour
- **Cost:** Free to enter
- **Best at:** Before noon, while the fish is fresh
- **Tip:** Ask a stallholder to walk you through the ajíes. Amarillo, panca, limo and rocoto are the four that shape nearly everything you will eat here.

### 10. Circuito Mágico del Agua

Park · Parque de la Reserva, Av. Petit Thouars, Cercado de Lima

Thirteen fountains in a 1920s park behind the Estadio Nacional, relit in 2007 and holding a Guinness listing as the largest fountain complex in a public park. One jet climbs past eighty metres, and a screen of spray takes a projected show set to music. Unapologetically a spectacle, cheap, and better with children.

- **Time:** 1 hour 30
- **Cost:** Ticketed, inexpensive
- **Best at:** After dark
- **Tip:** Nothing works in daylight. Treat it as the evening half of a day in the centre rather than an afternoon stop.

## Best restaurants in Lima

Ten rooms, from a No.1 tasting menu to a six-stool counter in Surquillo.

1. **Central** (Tasting menu · Av. Pedro de Osma 301 · Barranco): A menu organised by altitude, from the Pacific seafloor to above 4,000 metres, built on the group's own ingredient research. The World's Best Restaurant in 2023. [Website](https://centralrestaurante.com.pe/en/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Maido** (Nikkei · Calle San Martín 399 · Miraflores): Mitsuharu Tsumura’s Nikkei room, where Japanese technique meets Peruvian fish and the result was voted The World’s Best Restaurant in 2025. [Website](https://maido.pe/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Kjolle** (Tasting menu · Av. Pedro de Osma 301 · Barranco): Pía León cooking upstairs from Central in the same building, brighter and less formal, and easier to get into at short notice. [Website](https://kjolle.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Astrid y Gastón** (Peruvian · Av. Paz Soldán 290 · San Isidro): The restaurant that started the Lima boom in 1994, now in Casa Moreyra, a restored 17th-century hacienda house in San Isidro. [Website](https://www.astridygaston.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
5. **La Mar** (Cevichería · Av. La Mar 770 · Miraflores): Gastón Acurio’s cevichería and the standard by which the rest are judged. A lunchtime room that is full by one o’clock.
6. **Isolina** (Criollo · Av. San Martín 101 · Barranco): Taberna criolla doing Lima home cooking at family scale: cau cau, tallarín saltado and a cabrito that arrives in a pot for the table.
7. **Mérito** (Small plates · Jr. 28 de Julio 206 · Barranco): A narrow Barranco room where Venezuelan and Peruvian cooking meet over small plates. Book it, because there are barely thirty seats.
8. **Osso** (Grill · Calle Tahití 175 · La Molina): Renzo Garibaldi’s butchery and steak counter, dry-ageing on site and serving cuts the rest of the city does not.
9. **Al Toke Pez** (Cevichería · Av. Angamos Este 886 · Surquillo): A handful of stools on Avenida Angamos, one cook, and ceviche and chicharrón de pescado turned out at market prices. Cash, no bookings.
10. **Panchita** (Criollo · Calle 2 de Mayo 298 · Miraflores): Charcoal anticuchos at the door and the rest of the criollo repertoire behind them. The easiest introduction to the food if you have one night.

## Best bars in Lima

Six bars, two of them on the current World’s 50 Best Bars list.

1. **Lady Bee** (Cocktails · Av. Bolognesi 760 · Miraflores): Ranked No.13 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025 and given that year’s Art of Hospitality award. Peruvian produce driving the drinks, and a kitchen behind them.
2. **Sastrería Martínez** (Cocktails · Av. Alfredo Benavides 598 · Miraflores): A new entry at No.33 in 2025, styled after Prohibition-era America down to the flat caps, and serious about what is in the glass.
3. **Carnaval** (Cocktails · Av. Pardo y Aliaga 662 · San Isidro): The most decorated bar in the country, first onto the world list in 2019 and reopened at its San Isidro address in January 2022.
4. **Museo del Pisco** (Pisco · Jr. 28 de Julio 141 · Barranco): Part bar, part argument for the national spirit: flights by grape, and a pisco sour made the way it should be rather than the way hotels make it.
5. **Bar Cordano** (Historic bar · Jr. Áncash 202 · Cercado de Lima): Open since 1905 across from the Palacio de Gobierno, all dark wood and marble. Order a pisco and a sandwich de jamón del país and watch the centre go by.
6. **Juanito de Barranco** (Historic bar · Av. Grau 274 · Barranco): The district’s oldest bar, a former pharmacy with the shelving still in place. Butifarra, cold beer, no menu worth the name.

## Best museums in Lima

Eight collections, spread across Pueblo Libre, the centre, Miraflores and Barranco.

1. **Museo Larco** (Pre-Columbian · Av. Simón Bolívar 1515 · Pueblo Libre): The pre-Columbian collection to see if you only see one, with open storerooms, a gold gallery and a garden restaurant in a vice-royal mansion. [Website](https://www.museolarco.org/en/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI)** (Art · Paseo Colón 125 · Cercado de Lima): Peruvian art from pre-Columbian textiles to the present, in the Palacio de la Exposición of 1872 at the top of the Parque de la Exposición.
3. **Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú** (National collection · Plaza Bolívar s/n · Pueblo Libre): The national collection, on the Plaza Bolívar next to the house where San Martín and later Bolívar lived. Heavier going than the Larco, and stronger on the Inca.
4. **Museo Pedro de Osma** (Viceregal art · Av. Pedro de Osma 421 · Barranco): Viceregal painting, silver and furniture in a Barranco mansion, plus a wing on the art of the Lake Titicaca basin. The garden alone justifies the walk.
5. **Museo Amano** (Textiles · Calle Retiro 160 · Miraflores): A small, precise textile museum built on a private collection, shown in rotation because the pieces cannot take permanent light.
6. **MAC Lima** (Contemporary art · Av. Grau 1511 · Barranco): The contemporary art museum, a low white building around a lawn in Barranco, with a programme that leans Latin American.
7. **Lugar de la Memoria (LUM)** (Memorial · Bajada San Martín 151 · Miraflores): The national memorial to the internal conflict of 1980 to 2000, built into the Miraflores cliff. Sober, well made and free to enter.
8. **Casa de la Literatura Peruana** (Literature · Jr. Áncash 207 · Cercado de Lima): The old Desamparados railway station behind the Palacio de Gobierno, now a free literature museum with a stained-glass hall worth the detour on its own.

## Best huacas and ruins in Lima

Five of the roughly 350 archaeological sites inside metropolitan Lima, and the ones you can actually walk into.

1. **Huaca Pucllana** (Lima culture · Calle General Borgoño cuadra 8 · Miraflores): A seven-tier adobe pyramid of the Lima culture, hemmed in by Miraflores blocks and lit after dark. Bricks stood on end are why it survived the earthquakes.
2. **Huaca Huallamarca** (Pre-Inca · Av. Nicolás de Rivera 201 · San Isidro): A restored stepped pyramid on a San Isidro corner, older than Pucllana and quicker to see. Climb to the top for the odd view of banks and gardens around it.
3. **Complejo Arqueológico Mateo Salado** (Ychsma · Av. Mariano Cornejo · Pueblo Libre): Five adobe pyramids on a walled site between Pueblo Libre and Breña, largely ignored by visitors and open on a guided circuit.
4. **Santuario Arqueológico de Pachacamac** (Ychsma and Inca · Panamericana Sur km 31.5 · Lurín): The coastal oracle, 465 hectares of temples above the Lurín valley, in use for about 1,500 years until 1533. A half-day, not a stop. [Website](https://pachacamac.cultura.pe/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
5. **Puruchuco** (Ychsma · Carretera Central km 4.5 · Ate): An Ychsma governor’s compound east of the centre, reconstructed in the 1950s so the rooms and passages read as rooms rather than outlines, with a site museum attached.

## Best neighborhoods in Lima

Six districts, and what each one is actually for.

1. **Miraflores** (Clifftop · Central district · Miraflores): The default base: clifftop parks, most of the hotels, Huaca Pucllana and the shortest walk to a decent restaurant at any hour.
2. **Barranco** (Bohemian · South of Miraflores · Barranco): Smaller, older and more interesting: galleries, murals, the Puente de los Suspiros, the best bars and both of the city’s No.1 restaurants.
3. **Centro Histórico** (Colonial · Cercado de Lima · Cercado de Lima): The colonial core, a World Heritage site and where the churches, balconies and catacombs are. Busy by day, quieter than it should be at night.
4. **San Isidro** (Business · El Olivar · San Isidro): The financial district and the money: El Olivar, an olive grove planted in the 1560s, plus Huallamarca and the calmest streets in the city.
5. **Pueblo Libre** (Museums · Plaza Bolívar · Pueblo Libre): Residential, low-rise and holding two of the best museums plus the taberna where the pisco sour is said to have been poured for the first time.
6. **Callao Monumental** (Port · Plaza Matriz · Callao): The old port’s republican quarter, restored around an arts programme, with murals, studios and the Real Felipe fortress a few blocks away.

## Best beaches and surf near Lima

Five breaks and beaches, from the foot of the cliff to an hour south.

1. **Makaha and Waikiki** (Beginner surf · Circuito de Playas · Miraflores): The Costa Verde breaks directly under Miraflores, where most of Lima learns to surf. Gentle, crowded and reachable on foot from the malecón.
2. **Los Yuyos and Barranquito** (City beach · Bajada de Baños · Barranco): Barranco’s stretch of the Costa Verde, at the bottom of the Bajada de Baños. Pebbles rather than sand, and quieter than the Miraflores end.
3. **Punta Hermosa** (Surf town · Panamericana Sur km 40 · Punta Hermosa): Forty-odd kilometres south and the surf capital of the Lima coast, with a run of breaks from beginner beach-break to the big-wave reef at Pico Alto.
4. **Punta Rocas** (Advanced surf · Panamericana Sur km 45 · Punta Negra): A heavier right-hander that has hosted international contests for decades. Not a swimming beach, and not a place to learn.
5. **San Bartolo** (Beach town · Panamericana Sur km 50 · San Bartolo): The most pleasant of the southern beach towns to spend a day in: a bay you can swim, a promenade of restaurants above it and an hour’s drive back.

## Best day trips from Lima

Five trips within a day of Lima, from the oldest city in the Americas to a wildlife reserve.

1. **Caral** (Archaeology · 190 km north · Barranca): The oldest known city in the Americas, roughly 5,000 years old, six pyramids above the Supe valley and a UNESCO site since 2009. About 190 kilometres north.
2. **Paracas and the Islas Ballestas** (Wildlife · Ica region · Paracas): A national reserve where the desert meets the Pacific, with a boat out to islands packed with sea lions and penguins. A long day; two is better.
3. **Islas Palomino** (Wildlife · From Callao · Callao): The short version of the same idea, out of the port at Callao: a couple of hours by boat to a sea lion colony you can swim with in a wetsuit.
4. **Lunahuaná** (River and wine · Cañete valley · Lunahuaná): A river valley in Cañete given over to rafting, vineyards and pisco bodegas, and the standard weekend escape from the city’s cloud.
5. **Antioquía** (Village · Lurín valley · Huarochirí): A village in the Lurín valley whose houses were painted, wall by wall, as a tourism project. Pairs with Pachacamac on the way back down.

## Must-try dishes in Lima, Peru

- **Ceviche**: Raw fish cured in lime juice with chilli and red onion, with sweet potato and choclo. Eat it at lunch.
- **Tiradito**: The Nikkei cousin of ceviche: sliced like sashimi, no onion, dressed at the last moment.
- **Causa limeña**: Cold yellow potato pressed with lime and ají amarillo, layered with chicken, tuna or crab.
- **Ají de gallina**: Shredded hen in a sauce of ají amarillo, walnuts, bread and milk, over rice and boiled potato.
- **Lomo saltado**: Beef stir-fried with onion, tomato and soy in a searing wok, served with chips and rice.
- **Anticuchos**: Beef heart marinated in ají panca and vinegar, grilled over charcoal on skewers. Better on the street.
- **Pollo a la brasa**: Charcoal-roasted chicken with chips, ordered by the quarter, with a green sauce every pollería guards.
- **Suspiro a la limeña**: Manjar blanco under a cap of port meringue, sweet enough to share. Named for a sigh.

## Lima transport & airports

- **Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM)** (LIM): Peru's main gateway, in Callao about 12 kilometres northwest of the centre. A new terminal opened in June 2025. Allow an hour to Miraflores, more in the evening peak. [Website](https://www.lima-airport.com/en/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Metropolitano** (BRT): The bus rapid transit line, running in its own lanes down the Vía Expresa. Angamos and Ricardo Palma serve Miraflores; Estación Central is the stop for the Centro Histórico. [Website](https://www.gob.pe/atu?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Metro de Lima, Line 1** (Metro): 26 stations over more than 34 kilometres, elevated almost the whole way. It is a commuter spine rather than a visitor line, and it does not reach Miraflores or Barranco. [Website](https://www.gob.pe/atu?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Taxis and ride apps** (Taxi): Street taxis are unmetered, so the fare is agreed before you get in. Most visitors use the apps instead. Traffic decides everything: the same run can take twenty minutes or an hour.

## Lima travel FAQ

### How many days do you need in Lima?

Three. One for the Centro Histórico and the fountains at night, one for Huaca Pucllana, the malecón and Barranco, and one for Museo Larco and Pachacamac. A fourth buys you a beach day at San Bartolo or the long run north to Caral without rushing either.

### When is the best time to visit Lima?

December to April, the southern summer, when the sun is out, the sea is swimmable and the clifftop parks make sense. From roughly June to October the garúa settles in: a low grey ceiling and damp air, with temperatures around 14 to 19C and still almost no actual rain. The city works in winter, it just photographs badly.

### Is Lima safe for visitors?

Treat it like any large capital. Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro are where most visitors stay and walk at night without incident; the Centro Histórico is fine by day and thins out after dark. Use apps rather than hailing taxis in the street, and keep phones away from the kerb.

### Do you need to book Central or Maido in advance?

Yes, and weeks rather than days, especially around the 50 Best ceremony in November 2026. Both take reservations through their own sites. If they are full, Kjolle upstairs from Central releases tables closer in, and Mayta, Mérito and Astrid y Gastón are cooking at a level that would lead most other cities.

### How do you get from the airport into the city?

Jorge Chávez is in Callao, about 12 kilometres from the Centro Histórico and closer to 17 from Miraflores, and it moved into a new terminal in June 2025. Take an official taxi from the arrivals desks or an app pickup; allow an hour to Miraflores in normal traffic and longer in the evening. There is no rail link.
