Santiago combines central squares, cultural neighbourhoods and city viewpoints. Keep an urban day distinct from longer excursions toward the Andes or the coast.

Base yourself around useful Metro connections, then group the central square and nearby neighbourhoods. Lastarria and San Cristóbal offer different afternoons. Leave Andes and coastal excursions for separate days rather than stretching a city visit too far.
