With its railroad terminal built at the end of the 19th century as its main axis, the Estación Central district is an area of great activity not only for its active commerce, but also for the presence of the two most important bus terminals in Chile: Terminal Alameda and Terminal Santiago, which connect the capital with the rest of the country and South America.
Estación Central is also an area of Santiago with a rich cultural diversity, thanks to the presence of immigrant communities.
In addition, the commune is home to other sites of interest such as the Santiago Planetarium and some cultural centers such as the Artequín Museum or Matucana 100.
Among the most convenient communes of Santiago to live, Estación Central is one of them, with the great advantage of having Santiago Centro as a neighbor.
Here there are several residential sectors, many of them in the vicinity of the Alameda, the main avenue of Santiago, which extends along three districts.
