Viña del Mar is Valparaiso's neighbouring city, but the two could not be more different. It's worth the 25 minute bus ride over to Viña, which has a long stretch of beach and high-rise apartments. The city has a more resorty and upmarket feel to it than Valpo. To get there, take bus 612 which stops just outside the apartment.
