Barrio Lastarria is a bohemian and historical quarter close to downtown Santiago. Think historical buildings, theaters, art galleries, funky shops and lively cafés and restaurants. The neighborhood is very small and can easily be covered in a few hours. Most spots of interest can be found along Calles Merced, Monjitas and José Victorino Lastarria (a pedestrian area that has a flea market from Thursday to Saturday).
