Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll begin this free tour of Viña del Mar from the Miramar metro station exit. 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 inspired by European medieval fortresses. After learning about its history, we'll head to the Reloj de Flores (Flower Clock), one of Viña del Mar's main icons.

We'll then walk toward the Wulff Castle, located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Our route will pass other iconic sites such as the Viña del Mar Casino, the Iglesia de los Padres Carmelitas, and the Fonck Museum, where a moai statue from Easter Island is displayed at the 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 free tour in front of the Palacio Vergara, known for its Venetian Neo-Gothic architecture, now home to a museum of paintings considered one of the main picture galleries in Chile!
