Set along the Pacific coast, Lima is more than just Peru’s capital. With nearly 10 million inhabitants, it’s a vibrant metropolis where Andean roots, colonial legacy and contemporary culture collide in constant motion.

Food is at the forefront. Lima is a global gastronomic destination, home to three of the world’s top 50 restaurants, including Central, ranked number one globally. From traditional cevicherías in Miraflores to Nikkei fusion and the bustling Surquillo market, the city offers a culinary playground for every taste.

But Lima’s creativity goes far beyond the plate. In the bohemian district of Barranco, street art wraps around pastel buildings while independent galleries and Peruvian concept stores spark new ideas. In San Isidro, Lima’s business heart, skyscrapers and creative hubs reflect a country firmly looking forward.

Culture runs deep. From the pre-Inca ruins of Huaca Pucllana to cutting-edge exhibitions at the MAC Lima, the city blends heritage and modern expression effortlessly. At the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI), centuries of Peruvian art unfold across diverse eras, while independent galleries and creative collectives push new voices into the spotlight. Street murals stretch across entire districts, turning everyday walls into visual narratives. As night falls, rooftops come alive with DJ sets and signature cocktails. Open-air cinemas flicker in unexpected courtyards, and museums stay open late, inviting you to experience Lima’s cultural pulse after dark.

Lima isn’t about balance, it’s about momentum. Raw energy, vibrant creativity, and urban ambition define its rhythm. And Pullman hotels are right at the heart of it all.
