Beaches and parks. A relaxing itinerary is offered to visitors by Viña del Mar, the beach city that boasts of the beauty of its sea, the gentleness of its waves and the warmth of its people, always wearing a ready smile for its visitors.
Whether on its beaches or its streets, Viña del Mar has much to offer the traveler. A visit to the following places is recommended:

Quinta Vergara, this was the home of Viña del Mar's founder, Jose Francisco Vergara Echevers, and currently hosts the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts, which serves as a backdrop for the Viña del Mar February International Song Festival, one of Latin America's most prestigious and important music contests.

Rioja Palace, this is a beautiful French-style mansion which has been declared a National Monument. It contains the Environmental Museum, and has an open-air theater, swimming pool, tennis courts, stables and a riding school. It belongs to the Viña del Mar Municipality.

Mt Castillo, this affords an excellent panoramic view of Viña del Mar. It looks like a storybook medieval citadel, because that is where some of the most luxurious and traditional palaces and castles in the "Garden City" were built last century, among them the imposing Presidential Palace. The "Castillo" also boasts the famous "Flower Clock".

Valparaiso Street, is the city's business and trade center and offers the visitor a variety of local mementoes. The Florida Gallery, a plaza with important shops and coffeehouses is a main feature.

Cultura del Mar Museum ("Sea Life Museum"), exhibits an interesting collection of seafaring items that, in one way or another, reflect the history of the city and the resort it has turned into. It is located in a two-storey building with attached tower that was built in 1880 by Gustavo Adolfo Wulff Mowle, for which reason it is known as the Wulff Castle.

Peru Avenue, connects the Estero and Acapulco beaches. This roadway, built in 1930, is traversed by dozens of pedestrians who wish to view the wonderful sunsets in Viña del Mar.
