How safe is Viña del Mar?

During the day, it is completely fine, but I would advise against going out at night alone, especially in winter. In the summer, it is safer since it gets dark later on in the night, but I would still advise not to go out alone since there's a higher rate of mugging.

Beautiful, but can be dangerous, you need to keep your eyes open around, don't walk with cell in your hand. Don't walk around at night alone. Especially if you don't look latina , people might pester you. Be careful of pick pockets. But overall people are friendly and willing to help and many beautiful places to see.

Viña del Mar has changed a lot. There are some areas where u can walk and feel safe, but most parts u have to be careful during tha day. By night, is not safe to walk alone. Better in groups or using uber or didi.
