Barrio Lastarria: full of culture

If you’re looking for a nice, quiet place to walk, eat and have a great time, this complex of restaurants, museums, fairs and exclusive stores is perfect. Full of beautiful buildings, little stores and cozy cafes, Victorino Lastarria street is ideal to go watch a movie  and then grab a bite or having an ice cream in the café/soda fount Emporio la Rosa, famous for making the most delicious cone ice creams in Santiago.

On Thursdays, Fridays and weekends there’s this great antiques fair, where you can find amazing unique things.

But if you’re looking for art, right in the middle of the street, there is the MAC (Contemporary Art Museum) where you can find a lot of interesting exhibitions. There are also street artists that play their instrument or sing while you’re having your meal in the restaurants.

Anyway, when you walk through this street, you’ll always be entertained and nicely surprised.
