Barrio Lastarria, Lastarria neighborhood is a super elegant, trendy little part of Santiago. It is a really great part for tourist to visit as it is right next to the GAM ( Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center) and lots of fun restaurants and coffee shops.
There is not very much car traffic that passes through the Lastarria neighborhood which give is a feeling of being and isolated island in the middle of the busy center of Santiago.
There are several yoga studios in the neighborhood and lots of apartments. The neighborhood is an ideal spot for foodies as there are so many high quality places to eat.
Honestly the only downside is that every business located in this area is really really expensive. This is mainly because of the excessive attention the area gets from tourists, although 150 mil for a dinner for two is really ridiculous. read more
