Having Fun in Lima
Lima is a city that has much to offer in the way of entertainment, as it is a confluence of the latest rends and the most traditional aspects of local culture. Walking around it, one can always find somewhere that is open late and has an attractive rustic air, or alternatively is loud and eclectic.
After an enjoyable night, a visitor's firts point of reference is the so-called Pizza Street in Miraflores, a meeting place for the young and not-so-young. Another good alternative is the neighbourhood of San Isidro, which has places that are much more modern and contemporary.
However, if a bohemian atmosphere is what you are looking for, then Barranco is the place to go. This district is famous for its interesting cultural attractions, including art galleries, cinemas and alternative theatres. It also has nightclubs to suit all tastes, including "peñas", smalls clubs dedicated to Peruvian music and rhythms.
And speaking of traditional neighbourhoods, none is more representative than Lima Cercado, which contains some of the oldest and most interesting bars in the city. For example, the Taberna Queirolo, in Calle Quilca, or the famous Bar Cordano, opposite Desamparados station.
For visitors who like live music, Lima has a large number of places where you can appreciate just about all musical styles. In any of the popular "salsodromos" -as salsa clubs are known locally - the orchestra will tempt the most reluctant onto the dance floor. Places such as Brisas del Titicaca hold folk music shows where the rhythms and colours will surprise the most phlegmatic audience. And for those seeking other options, Lima's rock, punk and jazz concerts will not disappoint them.
Not only is there a wide choice of music, the city also has many other forms of culture to enjoy. The large number of theatres and cinemas cover the complete range of genera at many different times of the day. In addition there are museums and art institutions which are always holding exhibitions and multi-discipline events of great interest. The galleries of the Cultural Centre of the Catolic University, in San Isidro, as well as those of the Municipality of Miraflores often have attractive exhibitions, as do the Museum of Art in Lima and the Museo de la Nacion in San Borja.
The city is also a small paradise for gaming enthusiasts, who will find a growing number of casinos and slot arcades in which to chance their luck.
