Where to stay in Lima: Best areas for travelers

• Miraflores: Hardly anything beats a getaway by the sea. This area features Waikiki Beach, so it's the ideal place to stay if you want to be by the water. The Hotel Cholcana, the Hotel Las Palmas and the Hotel Casa Cielo will help make your visit here one to remember.

• Barranco: You're spoiled for choice when it comes to places to stay and things to do in this part of town. Recharge your batteries at the Casa Falleri Boutique Hotel, the Boutique Hotel in the Historic District of Basrranco or the Spacious Apartment in the Gardens of a Fairy Tail Monumental Mansion — then you'll be ready to visit fun sights like Bridge of Sighs, Lima Museum of Contemporary Art and MATE Mario Testino Association.

• Leuro: The key ingredients for a fabulous vacation are interesting attractions and a comfortable place to rest your head. In this neighborhood, you'll have both covered. Lock in a room at the Leon de Oro Inn & Suites or the Hilton Lima Miraflores and then discover what makes this area so popular with travelers.

• San Isidro: You'll have plenty of things to tick off your must-see list, like Lima Golf Club, if you stay here.

You'll need your stamina to explore this neighborhood's other sights like Jose Luis Bustamante y Rivero Park and Huaca Huallamarca Pyramid.

• Santa Cruz: There are lots of things to see in this city, but this area is an attraction in its own right. The Soul Mate Inn and the Hotel Santa Cruz are a few places from which to discover this sought-after neighborhood.
