Sotomayor Square

Sotomayor Square

6.9
3.3/5
16 reviews
Sotomayor Square is located in the heart of the old port area of Valparaiso, nestled between the mountains and the sea, and is considered the city's representative civic square. It is surrounded by historic buildings: facing the sea is the French Neoclassical-style Chilean Navy Headquarters building, and nearby is the old barracks of the Valparaiso Volunteer Fire Department. Today, it serves as both a public space for local residents' daily activities and an important starting point for tourists to explore the historic district of Valparaiso. It has convenient transportation, and the port, waterfront promenade, and the city's historic streets are all within walking distance.Valparaiso · 1.1km from downtown
Cerro Concepcion
No. 7 of Best Things to Do in Chile

Cerro Concepcion

4.5/5

Cerro Concepcion is an old hillside neighborhood facing the sea in the port city of Valparaiso, Chile. Many immigrants from the United Kingdom and Germany settled here in the 19th century, leaving behind clusters of brightly colored European-style wooden houses, cobblestone alleys, and churches. Today, together with the adjacent Cerro Alegre, it forms a walking area in the city that is rich in murals and street art. Rather than just checking in, it is better suited for a leisurely stroll: the walls and steps on both sides of the alleys are almost completely covered in graffiti, and cafes, galleries, and small shops are hidden around the corners, making the entire hill feel like an open-air, colorful art gallery.Valparaiso · 827m from downtown

I think this is the most beautiful square I have seen in this country. It has very beautiful buildings, statues, and lawns. It feels very majestic. If you come here at night, there will be some lighting effects, which are quite beautiful.

This is the most attractive place for tourists in Valparaiso. There are all kinds of graffiti on the walls of the houses. Although they are just graffiti, you can see that these pictures are ingeniously conceived and beautifully painted. They are really pieces of art.

Very nice panoramic view for families on a cloudy afternoon. If you are going with children, I recommend you to drive because the park is huge and there are many places to visit. Essential is the canopy and shaded paths with facilities for children and adults. Buy food for the birds and fish at the entrance because it is very fun to feed them. In the same garden there is a delicious cafeteria, I recommend their artisan cakes and ice cream, they do activities here for kids. Calculate at least 2 to 3 hours of visit to see the best spots. You can carry your stuff and picnic on the grass. Everything is very clean and safe. A must-see on your visit to Viña!

The scenery is quite good! The trail is located in the center of Valparaiso. There is a row of shops made of wood on the trail, specializing in souvenirs and handicrafts. From the trail, you can overlook the scenery of the entire Valparaiso port, and the scenery is quite good.

A Castle situated at the mouth of the river by the sea. Looking from the park at the mouth of the river, it used to be isolated on a cliff (actually not on the spot) because of its own staircase-like feeling rising on the Inland side. The Chilean flag was planted upstairs beside the spire. Come here and look at the harbor and listen to the tides. The view is more worthwhile than the decoration inside the castle.
