Lima is not the prettiest place in Peru. Perpetual cloud (Rarely
rains) pollution and maniac traffic! Beaches crap, water cold!
Presidential palace (changing of goosestepping guard) is quite good.
The market is excellent but lots of thieves, don't take anything with
you that you couldn't bear to lose!
Don't go out at night on foot. Go by taxi at night, call one, don't
get one in the street. Don't get in taxi when someone else is already
in it. BE ALERT.
It's quite a safe place really taking into account the above.
Tourist police and ordinary police very helpful, don't hesitate to
ask.
Most Peruvians are excellent!
One day is not enough
