What to do in Valparaíso

Valparaíso is one of those cities where you could spend hours wandering. Get lost in the streets lined with colourful Victorian houses, hop from one cerro (hill) to the next via ancient furniculars and wooden staircases, and get to know the history of the town in the museums and architecture of the UNESCO-recognised quarters. In fact, Valparaíso is like an open-air art gallery, where painters and poets have displayed their work in amazing murals. You can even visit Pablo Neruda's home-turned-museum! After sunset, make sure to head to the harbour for a delicious dinner of seafood ceviche overlooking the lights from the tiny, bobbing boats.
