Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares in the city. Many old buildings well restored but for us, the best part is watching city workers going about their daily activity, be it shopping, lunching, or dashing betwen meetings. A great place for a mix of architecture and life.

The Paseo Ahumada is a huge walkway that leads to the Plaza de Armas. The Paseo had numerous stores along several city blocks. There are numerous street vendors selling everything you can imagine including food, drinks, jewelry, Spanish newpapers and magazines, and many other things.
Many of the street vendors have their goods displayed on small blankets laid on the ground. This is probably they don't have a required license. When they spot the police coming, they sweep up their goods in the blanket and disappear.
I bought a drink along the way that had some kind of fruit juice with corn kernels in the bottom. Apparently this is a national Chilean drink. It was ok but not that impressive. We also stopped at a office supply store where my wife bought a tablet for sketching and a note book for recording her thoughts about our travels.
This was an interesting place and was jammed with people. It was fun and interesting to see.

Love going there cause you'll find everything you need to see: Plaza de Armas, shops where you can buy clothes, food, crafts, handmade etc, also there's a lot of places of currency exchange and nearby there is a metro station. You will see many carabineros (police) around this place, you will be safe!

Busy, crowded no cars allowed so no need to worry about stopping for lights.
Some shops and places to eat.
I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

If you brought cash and want to exchange to chilean pesos, there are several exchange stores with much better rates than in any other place (airport, for example).

Busy traditional shopping street with loads of street vendors. The galleries around the Paeo Ahumada is more interesting (and cheap). Funny, modern art decoration lights up this street. Watch out for pickpockets.

We had the chance to walk around the street for an hour or do and liked all the action all around. There were so many street vendors as well as street performers. We enjoyed wondering around for a little while.

Hanging off the southwest corner of Plaza de Armas and under another name (Puente) extending north up to the Rio Mapocho this pedestrian only street is a great place for people watching, shopping for trinkets, having a light meal or drink... but for me the prize is enjoying the buskers. Singers, ballroom dancers (stunningly sensual), sax players, folk dancers, whirling devish drummers, Bible thumpers, con men, Hare Krishnas, conga line drummers & dancers, painters, fake statue people... very entertaining.

I avoid it. It is not particularly safe, or interesting, or pleasant. Hurried, tense, overworked people, and buildings that can be seen anywhere.

One of the many things we love about this city is it grid system and the many pedestrianised streets, this one is always very busy, with shoppers, we especially like the stalls that set up during the day offering a variety of wares.

Hola!
É possível comprar roupas de inverno em algumas lojas aos domingos?
Written 3 April 2019
Sim é possível. Muitas lojas nas ruas centrais (turísticas) permanecem abertas. A dica é andar muito, observar e somente comprar depois.

Written 31 October 2015
Te recomendaría ir a la Piojera, a ver de cerca como celebran los chilenos,además este lugar es célebre por sus Terremotos(trago tradicional). Si deseas ver bailes tradicionales también puedes ir al restaurant Los adobes de Argomedo.
El centro de Santiago, para turismo natural puedes visitar cajón del Maipo aa1 hora del centro.Espero te sirva. Cualquier duda estoy a tu disposición.

Hola! Mira hay un outlet cerca de Santiago pero no hay buena locomoción. Los Mall en general siempre están con descuentos. Esta Patronato y que hay una estacion del metro con su nombre, mucha ropa china, SALVO el Manzano entre Dardinac y Bellavista , una cuadra de diseñadores y con excelente ropa!!

As melhores cotações estão na Calle Augustinas. Não me lembro o nome da casa de câmbio onde troquei dólar por pesos. Quando estive em Santiago, o dólar estava mais bem cotado, de modo que valia mais a pena trocar dólar por pesos. Mas, a cotação do Real também não estava muito ruim. Aconselho dar uma olhada nas várias casas de câmbio desta rua, pois as cotações variam bastante. Espero ter ajudado...
