Getting to Sky Costanera by car

Driving route

  • Travel time: 15 to 25 minutes from Plaza de Armas
  • Distance: Approximately 6.2 km
  • Peak traffic hours: 7am to 9am and 5pm to 8pm on weekdays

From Plaza de Armas, head northeast along Av. Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, then continue via Av. Providencia toward the Costanera Center complex. The fastest route follows Av. Andrés Bello, which runs directly in front of the tower. Avoid this route during weekday peak hours, when congestion on Av.

The current parking rate is CLP 28 per minute, approximately US $1.68 per hour at current exchange rates. Payment can be made via the Mi Mall app, which allows you to pay without queuing at a machine or at on-site automated kiosks.

How to enter Sky Costanera

Sky Costanera has two entry points, both leading into the same ticket and security area at the base of Gran Torre Santiago.

  • Mall internal entrance: The primary entrance for most visitors. Access through any of Costanera Center's main mall doors, following Sky Costanera signage from the ground floor toward Gran Torre Santiago. This is the route for all visitors arriving via Tobalaba metro, bus, or the mall car park.
  • Tower lobby entrance (Av. Andrés Bello): A direct street-level entrance at the base of Gran Torre Santiago, fronting Av. Andrés Bello. Best for visitors arriving by taxi or ride-hail who want to avoid walking through the mall. Both entrances lead into the same ticket validation and security checkpoint before the high-speed elevators.
