Surfing, shopping, cat watching—just some of the fun things to do in Lima

Upscale shopping. Great dining. Cool cats. Just three reasons the Radisson RED loves Miraflores, home to sprawling Kennedy Park and its colony of well-cared-for, free-range felines. Our tech-savvy studios are also an easy hop from Lima’s National Stadium and the Magic Water Circuit. Looking for more adrenaline-fueled things to do? Surf’s up along the Costa Verde.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Larcomar blows away “hangin’ at the mall” clichés. Less than two kilometers away along the coast, the Barranco creative district buzzes with galleries, trendy boutiques, and Lima’s museum of contemporary art. Go from cutting-edge installations to ancient culture with a tour of Huaca Pucllana, the ruins of a pre-Inca pyramid in the middle of modern Lima.
