Market Hall

on Ayacucho Street, close to the Congress Hall is the shopping center, where you may buy almost everything. Its a big area, where the sellers have their small or bigger shops. The imagination is not preventing the procucts sold here.
Taxi to Miraflores from the city centre
by tomruth78
This taxi fair cost us around s/.8. We made sure we arranged a price up front. We saw at least two taxis who's tyres burst mid journey. Be warned this cars do not seem to have any road worthy certificates.
It is also worth noteing that car boots (trunks) are also used to carry passengers!!
Eat oudoors by the sea
by AKtravelers about The restaurants of Larcomar in Miraflores
We ate twice at Larcomar Mall in Miraflores, both times at outdoor tables with views of the Pacific. The dinner we had was at Vvaldino's Mediterranean restaurant and I can't remember the name of the lunch place. Both meals were preceded by Pisco Sours, as is the custom in Peru.
Barrio De Chino
by XKuger
A trip to China town in LIMA is a must. There are some fantastic authentic chineese cantonese restaurants. Also there is the super marker right next to china town that is a real site.
Specially the bucher shops that sell anything from beaf, pork, chicken etc is a site to behold.
Its approx 7 or 8 blocks from the Cathedral. Ask one of the tourist plice and they will show you the way.
Its best to walk as you can soak up the enviornment. Also its very crowed for cabs, its one of the most crowed parts of LIMA.
