Part of the city's UNESCO designation. Best done with a guide but nice to wander around and lose yourself within all the narrow artistic streets. Very colourful and some beautiful buildings. Once you get to the top so nice views over the harbour.

This is a much quieter and more photogenic area of Valpairaiso than the city below. There is some great street art, nice cafes and great places for souvenirs. Some of the viewpoints have great views across the city and harbour and then there is the wonderfully archaic funicular. The downside is we witnessed a pair of muggers preying on tourists walking up the hill on the road in broad daylight. Another group of 'spotters' higher up the hill seemed to be coordinating them. Be careful.

Colourful neighbourhood near Valparaiso’s port. The city is built around 46 hillls (really!) - so take the ascensor/ funicular – one of 15 in the city - to access the area. The renowned architectural heritage and historic reminders of a bygone era together with striking murals and artistic expression in the galleries here create a sense of wonder in this hilly enclave. Tourist shops abound and there are also many restaurants, hostels and cafes. No wonder UNESCO has declared this city a World Heritage Site.
