About this place
Two neighboring areas of western Santiago, part of the Yungay and Brasil heritage zone. Barrio Concha y Toro is a small set of curving early-20th-century streets and alleys, with houses in many styles around Plaza Libertad de Prensa and its fountain.
From there head north into Barrio Brasil: Avenida Brasil, Plaza Brasil and the neo-Gothic Basilica of El Salvador, plus old mansions, bars and restaurants. About 2 km.
Getting there: República Metro station (Line 1), a few blocks from Barrio Concha y Toro. To return from Plaza Brasil, Cumming station (Line 5).
When to go: Year-round, by day. Barrio Brasil has a lively bar scene in the evening and at night.
Tips: Barrio Concha y Toro is residential: keep the noise down. As in any big-city center, keep your phone and wallet put away and wear your backpack in front in crowded areas.
