Overview

This interesting bohemian neighborhood was once know as part of the Barrio de la Chimba, which in quechua language means 'the other side of the river'. This area has a romantic and picturesque quality which attracts artists and the like, making it a happening night spot with many cultural activities, art galleries, theaters, restaurants and dance halls. It is highly recommended during the day for jewelry shopping, as you can buy high quality affordable 'lapis lazuli'.

Great in the evenings!by Yahoo | 2008-02-17 09:10:35 |

I lived in Santiago for years and frequented Bellavista often. It is best in the evenings. It has restaurants and hang outs for all tastes and interests. Good places for dancing too. There are also street markets and vendors selling jewelery and other crafts (day and evening).

A fun neighborhood full of excellent restaraunts, pubs and nightlife. One can wander up and down the old streets to find a cozy place to sit and listen to music or dance. At night I would go with a group.
