At the designated time, we'll begin this free tour of Viña del Mar from the Miramar metro station exit. Are you ready to explore the city? Although we won't enter any museum, palace, or monument, we'll admire their architecture from outside and learn about their history.
First, we'll head to the Brunet Castle to marvel at this spectacular Romanticism palace from the outside, whose architecture is inspired by European medieval fortresses. After learning about its history, we'll head to the Reloj de Flores (Flower Clock), one of Viña del Mar's main icons.
