Some of the best sightseeing in Lima is as follows.

- Going to Barranco neighborhood to see the Puente de los Suspiros Bridge.
- Enjoying the parks in Lima, including the Municipal Park in the Miraflores district, Universitario Park, Muralla Park, and Exposition Park.
- Heading to downtown Lima to see the colonial architecture in Plaza San Martín, Riva Aguero House, Torre Tagle Palace, Casa Aliaga, the Congress building, and San Marcos House.
