Mercado Municipal de Viña del Mar

The two-story marketplace contains 60 permanent stalls offering fresh produce, meats, seafood, flowers, and local products from the Valparaíso region.

The construction of the market started in 1938 under architect José Rojas Gatica, with its official inauguration by President Pedro Aguirre Cerda in August 1939.

The market stands as a central meeting point where residents interact with local vendors, exchange recipes, and participate in traditional Chilean food practices.

Visitors can access the market daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with vendors offering fresh products directly from regional farms and fishing communities.

The market includes specialized sections for seafood preparation, where customers can select fresh catches and have them cleaned on the spot.
