Sample itinerary -- Some of the landmarks you might visit, depending on your own interests, are:
The historic entry point to Valparaíso, the bustling Muelle Prat pier offers a vivid glimpse of Valparaíso's local culture and everyday port life. Short boat tours of the bay, both shared and private, are available from the pier.
Just a few steps into the city, Valparaíso's main city square — Plaza Sotomayor — is lined with historical buildings (the stately Edificio de la Intendencia being the most impressive) and centered on the Monumento a los Héroes de Iquique, a memorial that holds the remains of Arturo Prat and other heroes of the War of the Pacific — a pivotal moment in the history of Valparaíso, Chile, and neighboring nations.
The joyful heart of Valparaíso, Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción are a living gallery of vibrant street art paired with cobbled streets and a charming blend of French mansards, Alpine mansions, English gardens, and elegant promenades (Paseo Yugoslavo, Paseo Gervasoni, and Paseo Atkinson). These two hills offer a wide range of cozy cafés, local artisan shops, fine restaurants, and boutique hotels.
