Three days covers the historic center, Miraflores, and Barranco when you keep each day focused. Use ride apps between districts to save time on travel.
Tickets are sold at the door, so booking isn't needed. The museum opens daily at 9:00; go early to see the collection and gardens before lunch in its restaurant.
Take a taxi or ride app for the 20 to 30 minute trip depending on traffic. The metropolitano bus offers a cheaper option with stops near both areas.
Walk or take a five to ten minute taxi ride between Miraflores and Barranco. Ride apps keep costs low for short hops.
