Santiago ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Santiago
What our students said about Santiago
Santiago is strategically located very well: you can be either by the sea or in the Andes in 1.5/2 hours. There are lots of great parks and free museums. Personally, I had no problems regarding security. Of course I had few valuables with me. As a woman, I didn't feel any more unsafe than in Germany.
As a traveller, you always have to be mindful and but if you follow basic rules such as not going out at night by yourself in certain areas and keep your phone in your purse, you are good to go. Also, this applies to every place in Central/South America
There’s lots to do and go to. The public transport system is outstanding, and cheap. It’s easy to find your way around as the streets are well signposted, and the place is built on a rectangular grid. Google maps helps too!
Very lively, the bank holiday is a special highlight, impressive how the Chileans celebrate, good public transport, many excursion possibilities, caution is advised, do not wear important personal things visibly.
A large, modern city with many beautiful buildings. I liked it but it was not for me « love at first sight » as Buenos Aires was.
I wouldn't know about shopping. Santiago is definitely a place to visit and in November - December the air was quite pure.
Just make sure you put your money somewhere safe and if you have to take your phone out, hold onto it tightly.
There’s so much to see and do! It’s very easy to get around on the metro or walk to places close by.
Great city with many sights and good nightlife. Prices, however, very expensive for South America.
Santiago is very relaxed for such a large metropolis and is well worth a visit.
