Santiago is the cosmopolitan capital of Chile, cradled in a valley with the snow-capped Andes towering on the horizon. It is known for its mix of modern skyscrapers and historic plazas, leafy neighbourhoods, and easy access to nearby vineyards, mountains, and the coast. With a mountaintop viewpoint, buzzing barrios, and wine country a short drive away, it is a city that rewards every kind of explorer!

When to go

As a southern-hemisphere city, Santiago's seasons are reversed, so warm, dry summers fall from December to February and are ideal for exploring. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer mild, pleasant weather, while winter brings cooler days and excellent skiing in the nearby Andes.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

Reaching Santiago from eastern Canada is a long-haul journey that almost always involves one or more connections, often through Toronto, a US hub, or another gateway before the long flight south. The South American legs are frequently overnight, so plan for a full travel day and generous layover time. Depending on your departure city, expect at least one stop along the way.

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Chilean peso, and cards are widely accepted in the city. Santiago has a clean, efficient metro that makes getting around easy and cheap, backed up by ride apps like Uber and Cabify, so a rental car is really only worth it for wine-country or coastal day trips; downtown traffic and parking can be a headache, so lean on the metro in the core. Spanish is the main language, so a few phrases help, and a jacket is handy as evenings can cool quickly.
