Where to park near the Catholic University and the University of Chile?
In the surrounding area, you will find several Saba parking lots that make getting there easier:
- Saba Santa Lucía Parking: steps from the Catholic University and a few meters from the University of Chile, open Monday through Sunday from 6:30 a.m. to midnight. Entrance on Santa Lucía Street, maximum height of 2.10 m.
- Saba Plaza Mekis Parking: In front of the Municipal Theater. It operates 24 hours a day, has a maximum height of 2.10 m, and charges by the minute or by day and/or nighttime segments.
- Saba Santa Rosa Parking: Entrance on Santa Rosa Street, located right between the two main campuses, available from 7:00 AM to midnight, Monday through Sunday. A practical option for both short visits and parking for several hours.
If you're visiting during peak university hours—especially early in the morning or after noon—it's a good idea to arrive with a few minutes to spare to avoid unnecessary detours.
How to get to the universities from the parking lot?
From Santa Lucía or Plaza Mekis, the walk is very short and direct. If you park in Santa Rosa, the route is just as easy, following busy, central streets.
