Buses to the city leave from Santiago’s Terminal Alameda regularly.For the most pleasant weather, visit Viña del Mar between October and May. The majority of visitors don’t stay overnight, so if you want to enjoy the attractions without the crowds, go sightseeing after 4pm, when most tour groups have left.For history buffs, one of Viña’s main draws is the Corporate Museum of Archaeology and History Francisco Fonck.

Appearing to tumble down into the sea, the hilly area bursts with street art, antique funiculars, church spires, and lively bars.

Here you'll find the Palacio Vergara, an elegant old home built in the Venetian Gothic style, which is now a museum, along with a large amphitheater that plays host to summer events.

If you want to visit the museum housed inside the Palacio Vergara, consider opting for a private, customizable tour.<ul><li>Sun protection and comfortable footwear are a must for visiting the park.</li><li>If you’re going in February, you may not be able to spend time in the park unless you have a ticket for the Viña del Mar International Song Festival.</li><li>Access to the Palacio Vergara Museum is capped, so it’s a good idea to give yourself plenty of time if you end up needing to wait in line.</li></ul>The park is located on the southern side of Viña del Mar, and is easily accessible via public transportation. The Viña Del Mar station is only about a 2-minute walk away from the northern part of the park, where the Palacio Vergara Museum is located.
