Luxury Holiday Lima

Peru’s UNESCO World Heritage capital, Lima is one of South America’s largest cities, a sprawling, bustling metropolis. Set on Peru’s arid Pacific coast, Lima holidays offer a tantalising combination of city delights and culinary excellence. Lose yourself in historical intrigue, beautiful architecture and frothing surf breaks.

Lima holidays are best spent roaming the city, experiencing first-hand the vibrant amalgamation of past and present. The city boasts an array of historical attractions. Wander one of the many respected museums, including Museo Larco, home to an impressive collection of ancient ceramics and pre-Colombian artefacts. Part of Lima’s UNESCO Historic Centre, explore Basilica de San Francisco and its catacombs – a beautiful display of colonial architecture. While you’re meandering, head to Plaza de Armas, Lima’s central square. Here you’ll find the ornate Government Palace, the vast Cathedral of Lima and the brightly-painted Municipal Palace.

Lose yourself in winding city streets on a Lima holiday

Emerge from your historical explorations to green tranquillity and beautiful views in the palm-speckled parks of Miraflores. El Malecón, in particular, spreads an array of green spaces, clinging to the cliffs above the coast. Another popular neighbourhood, Barranco offers its own appeal. Discover colourful buildings, captivating street art and some delightful coffee shops. As dusk falls, wander over the romantic La Puente de Los Suspiros (the Bridge of Sighs).

The myriad culinary treasures would be reason enough for a holiday to Lima. Lima’s world-class culinary scene introduces you to all that is great and glorious about Peruvian food. Stroll through the Boulevard of Gastronomy in the Surquillo district for an impromptu foodie tour of Peru’s culinary capital. Savour crispy calamari, succulent shrimp cioppino, the famous Peruvian ceviche (and oh, so much more). Toast pisco sours as you watch the sun set over the ocean.
