Miraflores: The area around Larcomar, one of Lima's most popular shopping centers set on a cliff by the water, offers great views of the city's beaches, also known as Costa Verde for the greenery that grows right next to the sandy and rocky shores.
Parque de la Reserva: Don't miss out on posing by the interactive fountains in this park. On weekend nights, you're sure to find lots of locals enjoying walks in the area.
El Puente de los Suspiros: The city's most famous bridge, located in the artsy neighborhood of Barranco, dates back to 1876. Legend has it holding your breath while crossing it will grant you a wish. Next to it, you'll find a statue of Chabuca Granda, whose song named after the bridge you'll probably hear in the area more than once.
