Known as the “Garden City”, Viña del Mar is considered the tourist capital of Chile, due to its strategic geographical location, very close to the capital of the country. Seat of the International Song Festival, Viña del Mar lies 120 kilometers from Santiago along Route 68 and 9 kilometers away from Valparaíso along the coastline road.
 
Its economy is practically based on tourism. The city has an important hospitality infrastructure that has been strengthened in the last few years. As a result of its history and elegance, the Casino of Viña del Mar, where lovers of gambling gather to enjoy the comfortable facilities, is one of the most outstanding sites. Its main tourist attractions include 13 delicious beaches bathed by the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean.
 
It features tours of great architectural value, from tours around museums, palaces and castles to art galleries, theaters and parks, such as the Vergara estate. We recommend a visit to the famous Flower Clock, Vergara Pier and to enjoy an amusing ride around the city on a horse-driven carriage.
 
There are numerous restaurants specialized in international and Creole food, especially seafood, pasta and meat, where you could also enjoy the excellent wine production of the well-known high-quality vineyard areas both inside the country and abroad.
