Viña del Mar

Valparaíso's flatter, calmer neighbor — a beach promenade and residential grid instead of hillside funiculars and murals.

Viña del Mar sits right next to Valparaíso but reads as a different kind of city — flat where Valparaíso is vertical, residential and beach-resort rather than bohemian-port. Most visitors day-trip in for the beach and the casino; the residential streets a few blocks back from the water hold the better food.
