Santiago

The capital of Chile may be Latin, but Santiago feels deeply European all the same, both in its historic appeal and in its contemporary flair. Hints of the city's 16th-century Spanish roots remain in mission-style buildings like the Palacio la Moneda where arched doorways and a lemon-tree-filled courtyard channel another world, and in the old European grandeur of churches like Santo Domingo. At the same time, shiny skyscrapers and a clean, efficient metro system reveal the city's rapid economic growth, putting it on par with modern Europe. The opening of the glossy Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda in 2006 marked the beginning of a newfound pride in the city’s heritage – a pride that has continued to evolve through Santiago’s burgeoning culinary, shopping, and nightlife scenes.
