“Beautiful building - worth taking the tour ”

May 2019

The Congreso is a beautiful building and host to the Congress of the Republic of Peru. It is worth taking the tour - you must have your passport. 2-4pm, but not Thursday. Close to Plaza de Armas.

“History of a nation”

Jul 2015

If you are close to Plaza de Armas and want to visit a more governmental sight, El Congreso is the place. They offer tours and when I went we actually got to sit in on one of the discussion between Peru's politicians. Make sure you bring your passport because they won't let you in if you don't. Again if you are interested in political science or history you will be fascinated. When you first walk in they have all the constitutions of Peru on display which was freaking awesome if you like that stuff! All the history of the nation within those walls makes it a cool place to stop if you have time to kill.

Interesting monument

Jul 2014 • Friends

Such as many other buildings in Lima, its architecture is really beautiful. Typical tourist visit, I've made it on my own but there are options of guided visits (may be nice if you want to know about its history, I prefer do the search by myself)
