Visiting
What to see, eat and drink in Centro
OpenStreetMap maps 1,241 restaurants, 262 cafes and 498 bars and pubs counted in Centro, and 179 named sights: museums and galleries, parks, monuments, viewpoints and other attractions. They are counted the same way as the places to stay: each place goes to the area whose centre is nearest, within that area's reach. This rule has no boundaries, so places near the edge can fall in a neighbouring area's count.
