Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll begin this free tour of Viña del Mar from the Miramar metro station exit. Are you ready to explore the city? Although we won't enter any museum, palace, or monument, we'll admire their architecture from outside and learn about their history.

First, we'll head to the Brunet Castle to marvel at this Romanticism palace from the outside, whose architecture is inspired by European medieval fortresses. After learning about its history, we'll go to the Reloj de Flores (Flower Clock), one of Viña del Mar's main icons.

Next, we'll walk toward the Wulff Castle on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. From there, we'll continue passing other iconic sites such as the Viña del Mar Casino, the Iglesia de los Padres Carmelitas, and the Fonck Museum, which features a moai statue from Easter Island at its entrance.

Our next stop will be the Palacio Carrasco, dating back to the early 20th century, followed by the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, the oldest church in Viña del Mar.

Finally, after approximately 3 hours, we'll conclude this tour in front of the Palacio Vergara, notable for its Venetian Neo-Gothic architecture and now home to a museum of paintings, recognized as one of the main picture galleries in Chile.
