Take a break from the chaos of the Centro with an afternoon stroll through this lovingly manicured park. It was just a rocky hill until 19th-century mayor Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna had it transformed into one of the city's most memorable parks.
A web of trails and steep stone stairs leads you up through terraces to the Torre Mirador at the top, and there are a scattering of churches and other interesting buildings in between. There's a free elevator to the top if you want to save your legs.
