It was ok, I'm not sure if it's worth the long taxi ride from Mieaflores/ San Isidro but there are some interesting shops and good places to eat.

Incredible must-do in Lima. The main square of Callao became an amazing tourist place with good restaurant options and a lot of street art. The Callao monumental is a building with a lot of expositions and an amazing terrace with increíble views of the coast and the port. If you go on the weekend you can catch live shows. Safety tip: Take an Uber and explain to them to reach the place via the port which is way safer than other routes. Be careful of your surroundings and try to go with a group.
It was superb specially at night
A lovely neighborhood of Callao which has been turned into a cultural hub. Graffiti, art exhibitions, and much more. Would recommend a visit for sure be aware that the surrounding areas are not so safe.
CALLAO MONUMENTAL– URBAN ART PROJECT IN LIMA We'd heard a lot about the art project in Callao, Peru showcasing some of the best street art, contemporary galleries and artists throughout Lima. So of course we had to check it out and learn about the area, and experience first hand the epic impact its had on the community! While purposely getting lost in the amazing artistic streets of Callao, Peru we stopped for some delicious pasteries at a local favorite hotspot and enjoyed the colorful hanging streamers in the corridor walkway. At a cafe we met an incredible local Albert from a near by Cuban art gallery that volunteered to show us around for the afternoon and we were eager to JUMP at the chance! You could feel the pride he had for his community as he showed off DOZENS & DOZENS of murals from small hidden away ones to some 5 stories tall! INCREDIBLE DOESNT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE OUR DAY!
Fascinating and worth checking out if you're in Lima for more than a few days. It can come off as sketchy to some tourists so be sure to visit during the day. Those who are interested in art should consider booking a tour; there's a lot to see and the story is super interesting. We visited independently and took an uber over and wandered around snapping photos. I recommend visiting on the weekend for a more festive atmosphere, otherwise it may be very empty. Loads of good photo ops.
Most underrated place in Lima. Hip. And safe. Kinda like wynwood walls in Miami.
Nice quite and artistic corner of the city, could explore more the touristic potential of the area.
