The Main Square or Plaza de Armas of Lima is the founding site of the city and the main public space. It is located in the historic centre, surrounded by the Government Palace of Peru, the Cathedral, the Sagrario Church, the Archbishop's Palace, the Municipal Palace of Lima, and the Club de la Unión. 

Majestic example of colonial baroque, the dazzling Lima Cathedral stands out with its tall slate towers in the historic centre of the city. A bastion of the Catholic faith in Peru, the main temple has watched over the life of the city for almost half a millennium. Its architecture and ornaments give an idea of the importance of the Viceroyalty of Peru to the Spanish crown during the conquest era.

It is one of Peru's main museums, located in the Exhibition Palace, opposite the Italian Art Museum, in the Lima district. Its total exhibition area is 4500 m², including the rooms corresponding to the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. 

Founded in 1926 by Peruvian archaeologist Rafael Larco Hoyle, the Larco Museum invites its visitors to discover over 5000 years of ancient Peruvian history through a fascinating collection of pre-Columbian art comprising more than 45,000 pieces. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the museum is located in an 18th-century viceregal mansion in the district of Pueblo Libre. This inspiring space houses the most extraordinary collection of gold and silver from ancient Peru, as well as its famous collection of pre-Columbian erotic art. 

The Pedro de Osma Museum is a historical museum located in the Barranco District. Managed by the Pedro and Angélica de Osma Gildemeister Foundation, the museum was officially founded in 1987, housing in the Osma House the collection of viceregal art belonging to Don Pedro de Osma Gildemeister. 

In the showcases of the Gold Museum of Peru, the most important manifestations of pre-Hispanic art are exhibited, as well as technological advancements developed by ancient Peruvian inhabitants for the extraction (mining), processing (metallurgy), and crafting (goldsmithing) of metal objects. Other types of objects such as textiles, ceramics, wood, and lithic artefacts from various cultures like Moche, Chimú, Lambayeque, Frías, Vicus, among others, can also be appreciated. 

Monumental archaeological complex, it is the most impressive and well-preserved of the traces of the Lima civilization in the urban area of the capital of Peru. It is a superb construction covering nearly six hectares of land, with its main pyramid rising 25 metres above the ground. Built with adobe, rounded stones, and sand, from a distance its walls appear to be a large library, filled with old and dusty volumes. Archaeological research places the initial use of Huaca Pucllana in the Lima culture, between the years 400 and 700 AD. It would have been abandoned and repurposed by the Wari culture. 

Pachacamac was the main sanctuary of the central coast for over a thousand years. Its temples were visited by crowds of pilgrims, as Pachacamac was an accurate oracle capable of predicting the future and controlling the movements of the earth. The sanctuary is located in the Lurín Valley, which constitutes the territorial framework of its location, and on whose banks, for the past three thousand years, a series of villages have settled, taking advantage of its waters. The earliest occupations date back to the Archaic period (5000 BC); then, in the Formative period (1800 BC - 200 BC), notable settlements include Mina Perdida, Cardal, and Manchay; in the Late Formative period (200 BC - 200 AD), various local styles such as Tablada de Lurín and Villa El Salvador emerged. 

The Magical Water Circuit of the Parque de la Reserva, inaugurated on the 26th of July, 2007, is one of the large-scale municipal projects, an icon of the city of Lima, and a symbol of the recovery of Lima's public spaces. It features thirteen cybernetic fountains, supported by the highest technology, where music, water, sound, and laser lights blend to present us with unique and incredible spectacles.
