Santiago New Years Eve 2024

Guide to new years eve in Santiago de Chile. Top fireworks, hotels & restaurants for NYE 2023-2024

Should you happen to be in the lively latin city of Santiago de Chile for new years eve, then expect to Party! This city offers visitors a plethora of festivities, from street parties, to epic club nights, or for those looking for a little quiet, just venturing to a quiet spot (if you can find one!) to sit back and watch the fireworks light up the sky.

There is much to see in Santiago and as you are so close to both sea and mountains, you're not going to run out of things to do. There are museums (head to Parque Quinta Normal for several museums), beautiful parks like Parque Bicentenario and Parque Araucano, cathedrals (I would be making a beeline for Catedral Metropolitana de Santiago, absolutely stunning inside), a palace and plenty of craft markets. Plan a morning out and ride the cable cars up to the top of Cerro San Cristobal for more epic views

It's a real photographers dream too, with the city skyline set to the backdrop of the Andes, venture to one of the many hills, perhaps Cerro Santa which you can climb for some fantastic panoramic views and explore many of the architectural delights on the way up.

You can not be in Santiago and not try a little Salsa dancing, there are quite a few salsa shows and many clubs where you can dust off your dancing shoes! If you find yourself in need of a day of shopping, then there are quite a few shopping malls which you can reach via the metro, try out Costanera Centera at Avenida Andres Bello.

New Years Eve Fireworks

There is usually a great street party around the Palacio La Moneda area and of course this is a fantastic place to be for the (Torre Entel) Entel Tower Fireworks display at midnight!

Many people also head to San Cristobal Hill (Cerro San Cristobal) with their bottles of bubbly, family and friends to watch the epic fireworks from this great viewing spot before heading back into town to a club.

If you are close to Las Condes, there are fireworks set off on Cerro Calan, this is mainly families gathering to watch the fireworks.
