Espacio Rojo is a small gallery tucked in the the colorful hills of Valparaiso. Everything is local and ranges from stunning large wall pieces to smaller paintings and gifts. Chistián, the owner, is very friendly and is lovely to chat with. I have returned various times over the past four years just to say hello and browse through the beautiful artwork. Make sure to ask about the view from his balcony, truly one of my favorite in the area!

The owners use the house to present the history of South America, Chile and Vlaparaiso in a wonderful way. You can only be impressed by the amount of care and hard work that has gone into the project, and by the enthusiasm of the presenters. A most enjoyable visit, highly recommended.

La Sebastiana

This four-story home, offering 360 degree views of the city, is highlighted by "the jar of smoke," a round, post-modern fireplace designed by Neruda himself.

Reviewed By Sportyrod - Hobart, Australia

Neruda created this home with his imagination. He enjoyed collecting items and finding creative ways to make them fit in. Every surface has a thoughtful touch to it. There is audio on most items. The house itself is without comparison, truly beautiful. I felt inspired just being there. I also bought the book on the house since you can’t take photos (it is called La Sebastiana by the Neruda Foundation).

Casa Museo Isla Negra

This charming home of the famous Chilean poet overlooks the Pacific and contains unusual collections, the tuxedo he wore when accepting the 1971 Nobel Prize and the simple burial plot of Neruda and his wife.

Reviewed By LazyDays4Us - Noosa, Australia

Museum of Pablo Neruda's house (and supposedly the best!). 7,000 pesos each, well worth it. Opens at 10am I think, so get there in the morning (the buses were arriving as we left around midday!!) Audio guide (approx. 45 minutes) takes you from room to room and outside spaces and is comprehensive but interesting story telling. We really loved our time here. It is cleverly run so that there are only a certain number of people in the building/s at one time to avoid crushing in small spaces!! Neruda lived such an interesting life and his love of the sea is depicted in this home. Great little store for some memorabiliia and lovely cafe for lunch or just a rest. We came with a private taxi and he said parking is retricted and not allowed outside otherwise the police will come and fine him, so he had to park a distance away and then pick us up at a designated time. All worked well, as we allowed plenty of time to explore (2 hours)

Palacio Baburizza

This turn-of-the-century palace pays homage to the city's 16th century roots and currently houses the Fine Arts Museum.

Reviewed By AKT301 - Bethesda, United States

The great thing about this museum is that is situated in a super interesting house which still has some of the period furniture and you get to see the original master bathroom! The art collection did not include known to me artists but you could tell these were artists influenced by famous artist. Truly interesting though we're the works by Chilean artists and the the works of artists from all over but with valparaisan and Chilean subjects. In addition, there are great views of the city from the windows,
