Concepción Things to See and Do

As the second-largest city in Chile, Concepción offers plenty of places to find live music and good nightlife. However, most visitors spend their time by day checking into the Galería de la Historia to learn about the city’s past or at the Casa del Arte to see Jorge González Camarena’s Mexican mural. The Plaza de la Independencia, Catedral de la Santísima Concepción, Parque Ecuador and Museo Haulpén are also popular attractions.
