What our students said about Santiago

Santiago is strategically located very well: you can be either by the sea or in the Andes in 1.5/2 hours. There are lots of great parks and free museums. Personally, I had no problems regarding security. Of course I had few valuables with me. As a woman, I didn't feel any more unsafe than in Germany.

As a traveller, you always have to be mindful and but if you follow basic rules such as not going out at night by yourself in certain areas and keep your phone in your purse, you are good to go. Also, this applies to every place in Central/South America

There’s lots to do and go to. The public transport system is outstanding, and cheap. It’s easy to find your way around as the streets are well signposted, and the place is built on a rectangular grid. Google maps helps too!

A large, modern city with many beautiful buildings. I liked it but it was not for me « love at first sight » as Buenos Aires was.

I wouldn't know about shopping. Santiago is definitely a place to visit and in November - December the air was quite pure.
