What is there to see and do in Santa Lucía?

You don't have to spend big to get to know Santa Lucía. You can budget for the top local attractions on your list, and then make time for activities that cost little or nothing at all. Hunt for bargains with some shopping at Plaza Real Cariari and Multiplaza Mall Escazu, or check out the area's cultural spots like Museum of Costa Rican Art.

How can I get to Santa Lucía and get around on a budget?

Scoping out the transportation options in Santa Lucía is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is 4.8 mi (7.8 km) from the centre in San José (SYQ-Tobías Bolaños Intl.). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to San José (SJO-Juan Santamaría Intl.), which is 6.5 mi (10.5 km) away. Santa Lucía may not have many public transport choices so a car rental could be an economical alternative to see the area.
