La Serena
La Serena · Chile
Founded in 1544, La Serena is Chile's second oldest city, a Pacific-coast destination in the country's north known for its Spanish neocolonial architecture — stone buildings, balconies, and plazas — alongside extensive beaches that draw summer visitors from across Chile and Argentina. The historic centre has a walkable café and restaurant scene, and the city is home to the University of La Serena and the seat of one of Chile's five Catholic archdioceses.
