Best Day Trips from Santiago
Thanks to Chile’s unique thin shape, Santiago has easy access to the mountains, the coast, and everything in between. Whether you’re looking for a day at the beach, a hike in the mountains, or a wine tasting at a vineyard, a fantastic day trip is within easy reach of the capital city.


Budapest
Known as the ‘Pearl of the Danube,’ the Hungarian capital offers visitors a rich mix of architectural beauty, diverse history, and an active food and nightlife scene. Formed by the 19th-century unification of the independent cities of Buda and Pest, located on the west and east sides of the river, respectively, the city has seen many of Europe’s great powers come and go, from the Romans and the Ottomans to the Austro-Hungarians and the Iron Curtain.


Granada
Of all the cities in Spain, Granada is the one where you can most feel the legacy of the Muslims who ruled Iberia for nearly eight centuries. After all, this was the last city on the Iberian peninsula to be reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs Fernando and Isabel, with their 1492 siege of the capital of the Emirate of Granada representing the final nail in the coffin for Al-Andalus.

Bologna has produced a number of Italy’s most famous dishes—not just the bolognese.
