Das Eigentum — Hostal Real
Hostal Real is a calm, old-school 3-star in central Lima, just off the Plaza de Armas. The lobby feels like a 1970s sitting room – dark wood, worn armchairs, a small reception desk with a single employee who knows the city inside-out. It’s not chic or trendy, but it’s clean, quiet, and genuinely helpful: perfect for a budget-conscious traveller who wants to be steps from the cathedral, not in Miraflores.
Chroniken von Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the Ciudad de los Reyes, and became the seat of Spanish power in South America for three centuries. Its colonial core, still intact around the Plaza de Armas, mixes baroque churches with Republican-era balconies. The city’s architecture sprawls through the 20th century, from elegant Art Deco on Avenida Arequipa to the concrete deserts of the outer districts. Today, Lima is a gastronomic capital – cevicherías, picanterías, and world-class restaurants sit beside street vendors selling anticuchos. Its identity is proudly coastal, gritty, and fiercely creative against a backdrop of low, grey sky.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Lima-Guide →Die besten Monate
April and May – sunny days, no rain, fewer tourists (winter crowds haven’t arrived). December – the start of summer, clear skies, and the city comes alive with outdoor events.
Peak / Festival Surge
January to March. It’s summer, with heavy beach crowds in Miraflores and Barranco. Hotel prices spike 40–60%. The main events are the Señor de los Milagros procession in October (overlapping with spring), but summer’s heat and the ‘Fiesta de la Marinera’ in January drive most tourists.
Budget Schulter Saison
July and August are winter but dry, with fewer visitors, cooler temps (15–20°C), and hostel/hotel discounts of 20–30%. September is also mild and quiet, with fading celebrations.
Wetter & Verpackung
Lima’s climate is famously strange: it never rains, but the humid ‘garúa’ (drizzle-fog) from June to October can soak you without raindrops. Pack layers and a windproof jacket – shorts won’t work in the concrete-and-coast chill, but a light sweater and jeans will see you through.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Lima
- The new Metro Line 2 is still under construction, but a section from Ate to Santa Anita opened in late 2025; it doesn’t reach central Lima yet, so taxis remain the best bet for the historic centre.
- Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) reopened its colonial rooms after a 9-month renovation in March 2026 – worth a detour for the restored painting collection.
- Winter temperatures are currently running 2°C below average in July 2026, so expect cooler mornings and a persistent grey sky – bring that windproof jacket.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Real, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor, facing the interior courtyard rather than the street. These mid-level floors get less street noise and lift traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid the first floor (no lift access from street level and likely noisy from lobby) and any rooms at the rear near the service entrance or kitchen, where staff noise and rubbish collection happen early.
Best views
Ask for a room with a window onto the courtyard for calm — street-facing gives you a view of the avenue and the old buildings opposite, but expect road noise.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are the quietest, above street hubbub but below any common areas or top-floor terrace.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima's Miraflores district has busy roads even at night; the hotel is on a main avenue so front rooms get constant traffic hum. The lift shaft creaks on the second floor.
Insider tips
1) Check in early to grab a courtyard room; no guaranteed quiet block without it. 2) Use earplugs if assigned a street-side room — the double glazing is basic.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Peruvian Sol, PEN
Withdraw from bank ATMs (e.g. BBVA, BCP) in Miraflores or San Isidro for the best rate; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots — they give poor rates and high commissions.
Contactless Visa/Mastercard accepted in most supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; smaller street vendors and combis require cash. Mobile pay is still rare.
Restaurants: 10% if service was good, not compulsory. Taxis: rounding up to the nearest 5-10 soles is fine. Hotel staff: 5-10 soles for luggage/bellhop, nothing for housekeeping unless extra service.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A simple black coffee from a corner bakery or market stall costs about 3-4 soles.
Menu del día at a local lunch spot in a mercado or small restaurant: 12-18 soles for soup, main, and a drink.
A main course at a casual pollería or chifa: around 18-25 soles.
Mercado de Surquillo or around Plaza de Armas for anticuchos, salchipapas, and tamales — look for busy stalls with locals queuing.
Plaza Vea and Metro are the main budget supermarket chains in Lima.
Polvos Azules or Gamarra for cheap clothing; also the bustling Emancipación street market in central Lima.
Combis and micros are the cheapest way around Lima (1 sol per ride). From the airport, take a yellow airport bus (10 soles) to Avenida Javier Prado, or a taxi (around 50-60 soles).
Eat at market food stalls rather than tourist restaurants. Use combis for short trips instead of taxis. Withdraw cash in large sums to avoid multiple ATM fees.
