The proud, vibrant and culturally rich capital Lima is the starting point for most round trips in Peru.

Lima City Tours between Tradition and Modernity

Above all, however, the historical roots, dating back to the 16th century, will provide lasting impressions. But apart from the omnipresent and partly very well preserved traces of the Spanish colonialists, tours in Lima will also take you into the modern age, which presents itself in the form of skyscrapers and shopping centres. It is precisely this contrast between tradition and modernity that gives Lima City Tours a very special flair. Find your most beautiful place in Lima and enjoy the South American joie de vivre up close!

The historical centre as the heart of the tours through Lima

The centre of the imposing old town of Lima is the Plaza Mayor. This is the traditional starting point for most Lima City tours. Strolling along the magnificent mansions and the imposing presidential palace, you will quickly understand why UNESCO has declared this part of Lima a World Heritage Site. The catacombs under the San Francisco Monastery, where a system of branched underground passages makes some 70 historical burial sites accessible, offer a completely different perspective.

Tours in Lima are characterized by diversity in every respect

True to this motto, it will certainly not be boring, because you will immerse yourself in a new world that is wonderfully different and refreshing in many places. In the different neighbourhoods the history can be traced up to the present.

Architecture enthusiasts will get their money’s worth in the course of a Lima City Tour, as it passes numerous historical buildings in the style of the Inca or colonial times. In this respect, the famous Parque del Amor is a lively contrast, as it was built in the style of the famous architect Gaudís. The numerous churches and shrines testify to how deeply the faith is still rooted in Peru. Take advantage of these quiet and devout places to stop for a moment on eventful tours in Lima. A highlight that should not be missing in Lima City Tours is the cathedral located at the Plaza de Armas. Here you will find the legendary tomb of the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro. Among the cultural diversity that you can enjoy on the outskirts or during tours in Lima are the many museums. A special charisma is exerted by the National Museum. The multifaceted museums offer authentic insights into the eventful history of this proud royal city from a wide variety of perspectives.

Tours through Lima take you into a lovable culture…

…but it’s best if you get your own impression of it on site. Even if for one or the other the hustle and bustle in the big city seems to need getting used to at first, the hospitality and modesty of the Peruvians will quickly have an infectious effect on you. Use tours in Lima to get in touch with the world-famous street food. At many (often mobile) stalls you will have the opportunity to enjoy local delicacies in tasty freshness.
