Welcome to the heart of our city, the Plaza Mayor. This is where Lima was born, and you can feel the history in the air, surrounded by the grandeur of the Government Palace, the stunning Cathedral, and beautiful colonial buildings with their intricate balconies. Take a seat by the central bronze fountain, watch the world go by, and be sure to catch the impressive changing of the guard ceremony at noon. It's the perfect starting point to wander and get lost in the charm of the historic center.
