Lima is the vibrant capital and largest city of Peru. Located in the valleys of three rivers, this beautiful city may not be one of the most popular destinations for a city break but don't let that put you off. Lima is a wonderful city to visit with so much to see and do. Take a look at a selection of recommended things to do in Lima:

San Francisco Monastery

Centro Comercial Larcomar

The Centro Comercial Larcomar is a shopping mall as famous for its location as it is for its shops. With numerous terraces offering spectacular views over the Pacific Ocean, the setting may take your mind off shopping, at least for a while. Inside you'll find bowling alleys, cinemas, restaurants and of course hundreds of shops.

Pachacamac

Located some 30km from Lima city centre, Pachacamac is a fascinating ceremonial centre where the country's coastal tribes worshipped their deities. This popular tourist attraction is a wonderful insight into an ancient world. A relaxing excursion from the hustle and bustle of Lima city centre.

Parque del Amor

Parque del Amor is one of the finest parks in Lima. The beautiful gree space, popular with wedding photographers, is a wonderfully relaxing place to escape the sometimes overwhelming streets of Lima city centre. But be warned, you may intend to just chill out for half an hour only to find yourself still sitting there two hours later. But if you can't take it easy on holiday then when can you?
