Airports

The airport of Santiago is situated to the east of the city, along the N-634, in the town of Lavacolla. The meaning of Lavacolla is ‘washing clothes’ and stands for the place where pilgrims changed their clothes before entering the holy city.

Public transport

The old town is exclusively accessible by pedestrians, anyway, the best way to explore the old town of Santiago is on foot. You can take one of the city buses to reach more distant destinations such as the university or the suburbs. There are 16 bus lines, of which 4 are circle lines.
