City Tour Of Santiago, Chile
|
|
Tips in this Tour:
 | Santiago is essentially a commercial city: only in the past decade has it become an important tourist destination. |
| Most of the citizens, especially around El Centro, are business people and usually wear suits and ties. Avoid dressing as if you are on a mountain hike. No need for backpacks. |
| Even though the numbers of visitors from the US, Canada and Europe have increased tremendously in the past decade, it is still difficult to find English-speaking people on the street: taxi drivers, restaurant waiters, shop attendants, and police only speak Spanish. |
| When you want to change foreign currency (e.g. dollars or euros), the best place to go is Agustinas Street in El Centro. Only use the exchange houses. |
| Avoid walking around El Centro or Bellavista during late hours of the night. Use a hotel taxi, especially on weekends. |
