A foreigner tourist should visit a lot of places in Santiago, because here are many beautiful places and a lot of fun activities. Here I expose a short list which can gives you an idea of what to do in Santiago.
1.- San Cristobal Hill: This is a hill that is in the middle of the city, in this place you can go to the zoo and see a lot of animals, you can feed them with some peanut, but you have to do it hide, because it is illegal jejeje. Another thing you can do is to take the Telesférico and see all Santiago. At the top of the hill there are a white virgin, a very big one.
2.- La Moneda Palace: You must visit it just because it is the government house and it has pretty gardens and a great history.
3.- Plaza Brazil: This is a place where are a lot of bars, where you can have a drink and listen good music. I like this place because you can go party all night long.
4.- Santa Lucia Hill: This is another hill in the middle of the city, but is smaller than San Cristobal. In this place you can visit Hidalgo Castle that is an old construction, with elegant rooms and decorations.
5.- Lastarria: This is a neighborhood in downtown where are a lot of places to have a coffee. These places are beautiful and quiet, so you can read a book and have a relaxing time.
