I love this metro station, not only is it super convenient (I'll tell you why shortly) it is also…read morelocated in my favorite neighborhood, Bella Artes. There is a huge painting right outside of the metro station which gives it a little added warmth. Bella Artes is connected to the green line and is just one stop away from Baquedano transfer point ( that's the convenient part). I live right between metro Bellas Artes and Metro Santa Lucia and I can cheat time every once in a while and jump on the Bellas Artes (green line) and get to the Baquedano transfer station and over to the red line. This literally saves you two whole metro stops and really makes the difference if you are running late to work like I always am. The inside of the station is also super simple. You can pull money out at the ATM machines located inside and charge your BIP (metro card) with either cash at the counter or through the automatic machines.

This major transfer station is horrible in the mornings. It is located in El Barrio Universitario…read more(the university neighborhood) which is exactly what it sounds like. Lots of of students and lots of universities.

If you get on the metro here around 7:30 am you should be fine. Anything after 7:30, between 8 am and 10am and be ready to wait for the mad rush of people getting on and off the metro.

Be careful not to get lost in this metro station as it is one of the bigger ones in Santiago.
