Lima Travel Planning Tips

Getting Around Lima

Transportation Options:

Metropolitano - Lima's rapid bus transit system is safe, affordable, and efficient for tourists. Runs along dedicated lanes avoiding traffic.

Taxis & Uber - Rideshare apps are widely used, safe, and inexpensive. Always use official apps rather than hailing street taxis.

Walking - Many attractions in Miraflores and Centro Histórico are walkable. However, Lima is large and spread out, so plan to use transportation between districts.

Rental Cars - Generally NOT recommended due to chaotic traffic, confusing street layout, and limited parking at attractions.

District Navigation: Most attractions cluster in three main areas: Centro Histórico (colonial center), Miraflores (modern coastal district), and Barranco (bohemian neighborhood). Plan your itinerary by district to minimize travel time.

Currency & Money

Currency: Peruvian Sol (PEN)

US Dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas but you'll get better rates using soles

ATMs are plentiful and generally safe in tourist districts

Credit cards accepted at most restaurants and larger shops

Carry small bills (10-20 soles) for markets, taxis, and tips

Typical Costs:

Museum entry: 10-40 soles ($3-12 USD)

Taxi across Miraflores: 10-15 soles ($3-4 USD)

Local meal: 15-30 soles ($4-8 USD)

What to Pack: Layers are essential! Even in summer, coastal areas can be cool in morning/evening. Sun protection crucial during summer.

Safety & Practical Tips

Lima is generally safe in tourist districts (Miraflores, Barranco, Centro Histórico)

Use ATMs inside banks or shopping centers during daytime

Don't display expensive jewelry, cameras, or electronics unnecessarily

Keep valuables in your hotel safe

Where to Eat:

High-end dining concentrated in Miraflores and Barranco

Cevicherías best at lunchtime (traditionally not served for dinner)

Cultural Customs

Customer Reviews & Testimonials

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for our Lima vacation!" "This self-guided tour was exactly what we needed. We have two young kids, so being able to move at our own pace was essential. The audio guide at Huaca Pucllana was particularly engaging – even our 8-year-old was fascinated by the pyramid stories. We spread the 14 attractions across five days and never felt rushed. Much better value than the group tours our friends paid for!" — Jennifer & Mark, Canada

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Incredible historical detail" "As a history teacher, I was impressed by the depth of information provided. The audio guide at the Government Palace revealed political intrigue I'd never heard about, and the Plaza de Armas narration connected Inca and Spanish histories beautifully. The ability to pause and replay sections was perfect for taking notes. Highly recommend for anyone serious about understanding Lima's complex past." — Roberto M., Spain

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Best way to see Lima independently" "I'm a solo traveler who hates group tours but wanted expert knowledge. This was the perfect solution! The audio guide at Museo Larco brought those ancient artifacts to life with fascinating stories I would have completely missed on my own. Being able to skip attractions and spend extra time at my favorites (the catacombs were amazing!) made for a truly personalized experience." — Yuki T., Japan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Romantic and intimate" "My husband and I wanted quality time together, not following a tour guide with 20 strangers. The audio tour at El Parque del Amor was wonderfully romantic, and we loved that we could share earbuds and enjoy the sunset together. The flexibility to stop for amazing ceviche at lunchtime and explore the market at our own pace made our Lima trip unforgettable." — Sophie & David, UK

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Fantastic value for money" "One purchase covered both of us versus paying per-person for guided tours. We saved hundreds of dollars and got more comprehensive coverage. The audio guide at the Basilica Cathedral was as good as any live guide I've experienced. The narration was clear, engaging, and revealed details I would never have noticed. Can't recommend highly enough!" — Michael & Lisa, USA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for photography" "As a professional photographer, I need time to set up shots and wait for perfect lighting. Group tours are impossible for this. With this self-guided experience, I spent 90 minutes at Desamparados Station getting the architectural details I wanted, then breezed through other locations more quickly. The freedom was invaluable." — Carlos R., Mexico
