What to do and where to go in Santiago

What places should a foreigner tourist visit in Stgo? What things should a foreigner tourist do?

I think that foreign tourists should visit the city of Santiago in the palace where the president works, called “La Moneda”. In “The Moneda” are many beatiful sculptures and garden with oranges.

The central market is other nice place to visit and eat Chilean food. In this place you can eat delicious dishes such "empanadas", brochettes called “anticuchos”, “carbonada” which is a soup with meat, potatoes and italian squash, “sopaipillas”, this is kind of cake with pumpkin.

Other good idea, you can go to Santa Lucía hill because it has a beautiful castle on top where you can see most of Santiago city.

MIM museum is another good option for learning about science and technology in an entertaining way.
