As we prepare for the X Jean Monnet Network BRIDGE WATCH Meeting, we invite you to discover Santiago, the vibrant host city, through a video produced by Marca Chile.
Home to more than 6 million people, Chile’s capital is the largest city in the country and its main urban, cultural, financial, and administrative center. Nestled in the Maipo Valley along the canalized Mapocho River, Santiago offers stunning views of the Andes to the east and lies within easy reach of the Pacific coast.
The city’s skyline, marked by modern skyscrapers, contrasts beautifully with historic neighborhoods and elegant colonial architecture. Strolling through Santiago, visitors will come across art galleries, innovative design shops, bustling craft fairs, as well as a lively scene of restaurants, bars, and cafés.
Main Attractions in Santiago
– Bellavista Neighborhood: a charming neighborhood at the foot of Cerro San Cristóbal, known for its colorful colonial houses, vibrant nightlife, theaters, and artistic atmosphere.
– O’Higgins Park: the city’s largest urban park, with around 80 hectares of green space, often referred to as Santiago’s “green lung.”
– Main Square (Plaza de Armas): the historic heart of the city, surrounded by emblematic colonial buildings and one of the most visited tourist spots in Santiago.
