This city is a cultural hub with a bohemian air, colorful mountains and beautiful street art murals that enamor all visitors. So, come and join the Essential Free Tour of Valparaiso to discover all the unmissable landmarks of this Chilean town with a local guide and a small group of likeminded travelers. Walking along the many promenades along the historical center, you will take in the quiet atmosphere of this amazing city where the immortal poet Pablo Neruda grew up.

The pulsing heart of this wonderful city can be found around Prat Pier. This bustling port embraced by mountains and colorful houses is a sight not to be missed.

Not far from the pier, your tour will take you around romantic avenues with panoramic views, such as the Atkinson Promenade and the Yugoslavian Promenade. There, you will surely stop near Baburizza Palace. It’s a large Art Nouveau style house from 1916. Its Croatian owner, Pascual Baburizza Soletic, bequeathed an important art collection. That is why today it serves as the headquarters of the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts. It’s the perfect place to discover the cosmopolitan flair of Valparaiso!

The Essential Free Tour of Valparaiso will cover one of the most outstanding hills in this rugged town—Concepcion Hill. This was a place of German and English early settlements.

Tourists going up or down Concepcion Hill can use several colorful staircases painted with graffiti technique, or take funiculars. Traveling in one of these quirky vehicles, you can admire the watercolor palette that characterizes the hills of Valparaiso. The oldest funicular among the many in Valpo dates from 1883! With so much to see and do, this tour will surely be the highlight of your trip. Book your free tour in Valparaiso today!
