Best areas in Chile:
Main Scene: Downtown district. Best concentration of venues. Well-lit and safe.
Alternatives: Local areas for experienced visitors.
Hope this helps.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $83/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
