Lima is the capital of Peru, and in the heart of the city is the Plaza de Armas, which is surrounded by the Government Palace, the San Francisco Church and other colonial buildings. The area is patrolled by tourist police, which makes you feel very safe.
A myriad of cafés and restaurants can be found in Lima, and it is worth the effort just wandering around and experiencing the flavour of the city.
A very popular suburb of Lima is Miraflores, as it has great shopping malls, cinemas, hotels and restaurants. It also has a wonderful long coast line which is great for surfing. [edit text][editors]
