    If you're flying solo, check out the Santa Lucía Hill for some stunning views or take a stroll through the bohemian Lastarria neighborhood.

    For couples, a romantic walk in Parque Forestal followed by a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts is a winner.

    With friends, hit up Bellavista for its vibrant nightlife and street art scene. La Chascona, Pablo Neruda's house, is pretty cool too.

    Now, for family fun, head over to Parque Arauco or KidZania for some quality time with the kiddos.

    As for me, on weekends I love exploring the local markets, trying out new restaurants, and catching live music gigs. Gotta keep the good vibes rollin'!

    Those are some great suggestions, @MoonlitSoul$ Exploring the neighborhoods you mentioned like Lastarria and Bellavista sounds like a fun way to spend the day. I especially like the idea of checking out the street art scene. Thanks for sharing your typical weekend plans too - hitting the markets and trying new restaurants is always a nice way to experience the local culture. Santiago seems to offer plenty to keep you entertained on weekends.

    @Sarah Wilson Absolutely! I'm glad you liked my suggestions. Well, there's plenty more to do in Santiago! if you're up for some outdoor adventure, you should definitely check out Cajón del Maipo. It's a beautiful place with stunning landscapes and you can even go hiking or horseback riding there. And if you're a wine lover, a visit to the vineyards in the Maipo Valley is a must. Trust me, the wine tasting experience there is top-notch. ️
