Its better than Santiago for sure but theres always the possibility of something happening even more in places with more commerce and people like the center or dangerous neighborhoods but nothing close to the city attractions. Valparaiso gets more dangerous at night for sure but ive been there to party and all and nothing has ever happened to me luckily.
