How is Santiago, Chile, during Easter?

score:1

Accepted answer

I spent Good Friday - Easter in Santiago. Good Friday is already a holiday in Chile.

All the malls, restaurants, museums and the cable car were functioning normally even on Sunday, I only couldn't find any single opened currency exchange. Bus from/to the airport was operating as in any other day too.

If you want to go out of the city (Valparaiso, ViΓ±a del Mar), you have to buy your ticket some time in advance - as I confirmed with some locals, pretty much everyone spends the holiday there, so tickets to come back to Santiago on Sunday may be difficult to get (you can buy them on-line before though). I only thought about it on Saturday and didn't manage to get one.

I didn't find any Easter-specific events, but in every square I went to there was something happening anyway. Plaza de Armas was the most interesting I think, there was some national dance competition happening there, I think it's a weekly event but I'm not sure.
