The World Heritage-listed city of Valparaíso has a long and colourful history dating to the 16th-century conquistadors. It is a vibrant city, both for its cultural scene – rich in theatre, music, performance, and street art – and for its brightly painted buildings that occupy its steep hillsides, which are accessed by funiculars.
