Breña borders Lima Centro and is just 3 km from Plaza Mayor and 10 km northeast of Miraflores. Perfect for those staying centrally who want to explore Peru's capital and surroundings with their own car.

From Breña it's just 5 minutes' drive to Parque de las Leyendas with its zoo and archaeological zones, and 15 minutes to the Larco Museum in Pueblo Libre. Along Avenida Brasil, the district's main artery, you'll find food markets and local restaurants that offer an authentic Lima experience.
