I live in Los Angeles and love the beach, so I figured Miraflores would be my favorite area of Lima and I was right. It's pretty, but still very commercial. My favorite area was the park with the giant statue of the lovers. Nice views. And our guide said we were lucky to have a nice sunny day in early September, it was a beautiful day. As far as beach areas in general go though, it felt pretty middle of the road. To compare it to California beach areas, it's definitely got a more commercial Santa Monica skyscraper and mall vibe rather than a more rustic and natural Malibu vibe. So, as a self professed beach snob, I would rate it about 7 out of 10. In my opinion though it's leaps and bounds prettier than the bulk of Lima, which I didn't really care for. One odd thing to note: you can't actually get down to the beach in Miraflores, you're on cliffs above it. You have to walk along the cliff edge to another district to get down to the beach, which I did, walking on a small path right beside a major freeway. Took 15-20 minutes. Kinda weird. But a pretty area and definitely worth a visit! Be sure to check out the park with the giant lovers statue.

Very nice area and scenery to match . Would like to return and spend more time here . The advertised protests were not evident, basically you would have to hunt to see one . Lina area is huge and the people here are living as they normally would.

Lovely area, very nice park with a statue of Paddington waving goodbye to Lima. There is a lovely young girl selling souvenirs, she zips about everywhere, please say hello to her and you will get a beautiful smile in return.The park is exceptionally clean and the shops underneath are very smart. The Peruvian people are really warm and welcoming, the craft market is amazing, so colourful and the prices are very reasonable. It’s was a dream come true visiting Lima and it didn’t disappoint in the slightest, a magical city to visit.

As a solo 50 yr old female, I stayed at a beautiful airbnb with ocean view. Very safe city. Limited shopping but beautiful mall on a cliff..with several restaurants. An interesting restaurant is out on a long dock in the ocean. Beach is harder to reach & is not sand but pebbles. Long boardwalk beautiful views. Very family oriented city. Beautiful park with ocean view. Felt safe in taxi's..in the city. Miraflores is a vacation destination for Peruvians. Very few people..even in restaurants, markers etc..speak English.. May be more at a hotel that caters to tourist from other countries. But if you use Google translate on your phone..you'll be fine.

There’s a valid reason why Miraflores is such a famous district of the city. So much to see and do here…I barely scratched the surface on my trip. Stroll around the countless parks, check out Larcomar, cross over to the beaches…so beautiful. The views are one-of-a-kind. Without Miraflores, I don’t think Lima would flourish as a destination like it does now.

Miraflores is a lovely smart neighbourhood with a huge clifftop park which is popular with locals and tourists and is very 'westernised'. Lots of opportunities to stop for coffee/food/ice cream and lots of activities to do as well. The beach is rocky and right next to a very busy road so not particularly quiet or relaxing. Views are lovely and from the clifftop and there are shops and restaurants inland if you need close by.

We stayed here for 3 days while visiting Lima as part of a larger trip around Peru. We enjoyed our time here, lots to see and do. If you can visit the Water Park in Lima at night time. Went to some good restaurants such as Panchita and Tanta. Safe and modern place.

Modern and safe with lots yo see and do. Good views, restaurants and shops as well as being able to see the water and the surfers. The parks dotted along the cliff top are especially lovely.

We stayed near Kennedy park in 2019. An easy 10 minute +/- walk to the coast and Lacomar mall. Access to walk along cliffs along the ocean front. There is a nice restaurant/bar there where their windows overlook the Pacific. One night; Peru was playing Chile in soccer. The entire park area was closed down, huge screens were erected and the soccer fans filled the streets. Great experience.

Miraflores was an amazing district to stay in Lima at. Very safe, lots of parks with top notch vegetation and flowers. Great restaurants everywhere and mist importantly very affordable. Looking si much forward to a prompt visit.
