Starting as a small community theater in the late 1970s, American Stage has evolved and for over a decade has been voted “Best of the Bay” by local residents. If in the area during March — April, a treat is one of the performances in a nearby park, often a play by Shakespeare. Bring your blankets and wine to enjoy theater outside among the trees.

Home to a large Chinese population, it would be only appropriate for Lima to have its own version of a Chinatown. This is the place where visitors come to try the authentic Chifa, the Chinese-Peruvian fusion cuisine. However, keep in mind that this is not like your typical Chinatown: it is smaller, rather chaotic and somewhat rough around the edges. But if you feel like venturing into the hustle and bustle of this neighbourhood, you'll be rewarded with traditional dim sum, Peking duck and many other Asian delights.

The Bremen Town Musicians is a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers that has brought fame to the city of Bremen. The story is about a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster in search of a better life in the city of Bremen, where they plan to become musicians. Today, a two-metre tall bronze statue stands on the left, western side of the town hall to pay homage to this popular German tale. It depicts all of the characters on top of one another, with the donkey as the base. If you decide to visit it, make sure if you grab both of the donkey's front legs for good luck.
