Lima attractions

The San Francisco Monastery, or Basílica y Convento de San Francisco, is a great example of Spanish Baroque. It is part of the Historic Centre of Lima, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991. Packed with history, it's well worth a visit.

Museo Oro del Perú (Gold Museum of Peru) is, as the name suggests, a museum dedicated to Peru's rich Inca and pre-Inca heritage. The museum collection is comprised of around 8,000 gold, silver, and gilt copper artifacts as well as richly ornamented armaments from around the world.
