Once bypassed by tourists en route to the more famous destinations of Cuzco and Machu Picchu, Peru's largest and capital city, Lima has quickly become one of the most vibrant cities in South America. Nicknamed the City of Kings, Lima, founded in 1535, became the capital of the Spanish Viceroyalty in the Americas and for a time, one of the wealthiest cities in the world. This coastal city combines Pacific beaches, towering brown cliffs and lush green parks with pre-Incan pyramids and glass skyscrapers. Home to one of the top gastronomic scenes in the Americas, the city boasts inexpensive seafood and cevicherias, countless markets, numerous celebrity chefs, incredible restaurants, and a pulsating nightlife and mixology scene. The city of eight million inhabitants is also famous for excellent surfing, fine museums, stunning churches, colonial architecture, and world-class shopping and art galleries.
