Bellavista

As you near the end of the Alameda, you will come upon the Plaza Italia, the original easten boundary of the city. This plaza is a crossroads that gives visitors the choice of going north towards the outer boundaries of the Forest Park, and passing through the bohemian neighborhood of Bellavista, which is packed with restaurants, bars, dance clubs and art galleries. This route ends at the hill of San Cristóbal, where you will find the Zoo, an art gallery and the swimming pools of Antilén and Tupahue. Another possibility at the crossroads is to follow the continuation of the avenue, which becomes Avenida Providencia, once a residential district which now features boutiques, bars, restaurants, hotels and modern businesses.
