The Valparaíso City Guides deal with the questions every visitor has: where porteños go for chorrillana and seafood, which funiculars are worth the ride, when the fog lifts off the bay and where the night moves after Cerro Alegre. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that gives every place a reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Cafe Turri
Templeman 147, Cerro Concepción
A mansion from the early 1900s with a terrace hanging over the bay, serving ceviche and crab pie. It is the one big treat in the guide, and the view pays for it. From the food guide.
Museo Mirador Lukas
Paseo Gervasoni 448, Cerro Concepción
A small museum devoted to Lukas, the cartoonist who sketched daily life in the port. Half an hour inside is enough, then step out onto the terrace and carry on along Paseo Gervasoni. From the things to do guide.
Dunas de Concón
Concón, 1 hour by bus from Valparaíso
Huge sand dunes right above the sea, with views over the bay and, on clear days, the Andes. Locals climb up with a bottle of wine for sunset; wear closed shoes for the steep sand. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Valparaíso
Day one: ride the El Peral funicular up to Paseo Yugoslavo, walk Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción in the afternoon once the fog has cleared, then end with pisco and live music around Plaza Aníbal Pinto. Day two: take the Metro to Viña del Mar or a bus to the Concón dunes for sunset, with fried fish at Caleta Higuerillas. For a grey or slow day, pair the free Natural History Museum with a long seafood lunch and a quiet bar down by the port.
