Santiago!

Hi everyone!
Today I am going to tell you something about the things that you can do in Santiago and where you can go to have a good time. Although I must say that I do not know much about this city because I have only lived here very recently.
First, I would like to tell you that Santiago is the capital of Chile. It is surrounded by mountains and it has very hot summers and very cold winters. But despite this, it is an interesting place. It is also very easy to get around, because, the metro in Santiago is one of the most modern subway systems in the world.
As it is the capital of Chile, it is a cultural, administrative and financial centre. In the center of the city it is possible to find many interesting places such as Palacio de la Moneda, Plaza de Armas, the cathedral, Pre-Columbian Art Museum and Red House.
The Bella Vista bohemian neighborhood stands out for its fine dining, art galleries, pubs and houses of renowned writers. Other neighborhoods that have modern buildings and a quiet environment are Las Condes and Providencia. You can visit the San Cristobal hill and you can see a beautiful panoramic view of the city and you can visit the Zoo.
I hope you enjoy the places that I have indicated.
Bye!! =)
