First af all, I gotta say: I hate Santiago. There are very few things that I like about this city and a lot of things that I hate. So if a foreigner tourist ask me this, I'd most likely advice him/her to visit another city, like Valparaiso, Viña del Mar or any other city. If he/she insist, I guess my top 5 places list would be (not in any particular order):
1)Metropolitan Zoo or the Buin Zoo: I'm an animal lover, so this would be, without any doubt, one of my first choices. There's a lot to do there so you could easily expend a whole day visiting those places. Besides, from San Cristobal Hill you have a very nice view of Santiago, so I guess any tourist would like that.
2)Plaza de Armas: Any tourist should visit the Plaza de Armas, because it's the historic center of the city. There's a lot of historic buildings nearby (churches, museums, etc) so thats why it's on the list.
3)La Moneda (goverment house): Even though Piñera is the one on charge now, La Moneda is always a good place for a tourist to visit. Why? I don't know, because it's the goverment house, it's and historic building and they even have a nice museum down there as well.
4)Quinta Normal park: It's a nice place to visit and do some outdoor activities, besides, there's also a lot to see in there. There's some museums inside, like the museum of natural history, the one about trains (forgot it's name) and there are a lot of interesting places around it.
5)O'higgins Park: There's a lot of things to do and to see here as well. You can do some aquatic activities in the pool or in the artificial lake, there's a museum (the museum of the huaso) and if you're bored, there's even an amusing park.

You should be greatful, in Santiago are many places to go...that's why it could like me. But I love Valparaiso whit all my forces, so, yes, I'm agree with you in a part, because in Stgo you find free culture in all the corners and that's fantastic.
Regards
*list of errata: in point 3 (la moneda) It should be "it's an historical building" instead of "it's and historic building".
It was a typo, my mistake.
