Sept 2024- this is a huge mall with tons of stores and good options for restaurants. We were…read morestaying at the Sheraton Santiago so this mall was a convenient 20 minutes walk. We visited the Jumbo grocery store on the bottom floor for all our basic needs. They have a wide selection of American brand stores like GAP, old navy & Starbucks and also their own department stores like Ripley (similar to a Macys). This mall does have a small souvenir kiosk on the very bottom floor where we found key chains and magnets. Other than that there were no other stores we could find that sold Chile souvenirs. The restrooms were clean also. At the food court area, the workers would wipe the tables and empty the full trash bins. They were working efficiently. No matter your budget, you can find something reasonable. For Uber, the pick up spot is near the Hard Rock Cafe entrance.

This is a huge mall in the newer part of Santiago. We stayed in the old part so it's several metro…read morestops away and about 3 miles. Took and uber there and walked back - the walk is not boring as you are on big streets and there's always something to see be it restaurants, shops or parks. The mall has 6 levels and the top is the viewing deck. We gave that a pass as it costs close to $20/pp and overhead views are just overrated. You can see the view of the city when you fly in and out of Santiago and also from Santa Lucia Hill closer to the old part of town and is free (although not as high up). Anyway it's interesting to see the contrast of the newer richer part of town in comparison with the old part. Otherwise the mall just has some huge supermarkets, mostly clothing stores and a very expansive food court with the familiar fast food chains and restaurants. We ended up having a late lunch at Crepe Cafe which is not bad (the food, some staff not so much). The food court has a lot of seating including outdoors although in the afternoon it's sunny on the terrace so can be very hot in summer But would be great in winter.

You can find almost anything you can think of here-anything. Some examples: toilet paper with…read moreSudoku puzzles (just in case you get bored), an adult Barney-like dinosaur costume and a mini-machine to vacuum your clothes (the best lint removal system I've come across) -all under the same roof! Plus, they sell some amazing imported Chinese snacks! Besides all of the cool and unusual things you can find here, you can also come by some awesome deals on really useful stuff such as shoes, clothing and home decor. Everything is very reasonably priced. They also sell sell phone covers and protectors, DVD's and all types of natural foods and even ribbons and cloth to make your own creations! If you get hungry, at the top floor there is a very simple food court with a couple of Chinese restaurants. The sign on the outside of their building really does ring true: Bueno, Bonito y Barato (good, pretty and cheap).

I love going to Chinese Malls. Have been to them in Dubai, Singapore, Japan and others. I…read moresay anything made in China you can pretty much buy here. Need some low cost electronics to hydraulics for your semi truck they have it.

This is a classic neighborhood for shopping in Santiago. If you don't want to spend a lot of money,…read morebut you still want to buy a lot of things, then this is your place. Meiggs varies throughout the seasons. In March it's filled with school stuff for children, such as notebooks, pencils and whatnot. In September, you can find a lot of classic chilean things for the national holidays. In November, the Christmas fever starts...and so on. There are also things for Halloween, the World Cup and much more. You can find interesting things, however, don't expect good quality.

There's a huge selection of restaurants to check out. We checked out different menus and actually sat in one spot and left when we realized it was vegetarian. There's music coming from different restaurants and the area is bustling. Definitely a regular area to eat, drink and chill when you're in the Santiago area.
