Getting Around

Conveniently located 90 miles north of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is a short hop from this major international gateway. Whether you fly direct to Santa Barbara's charming Spanish-style airport, cruise in comfort along the spectacular coastal Amtrak route, or arrive in style in a limousine or one of the many other transportation services available, you'll find Santa Barbara accessible and affordable.

Once you arrive, traveling around town is a breeze. Most of our major attractions and businesses are concentrated in a compact downtown area laced with pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and paseos. If you don't feel like walking, grab a pedicab (Santa Barbara's answer to the rickshaw), hail a taxi, or hop aboard one of our eco-friendly electric shuttles and zip between downtown and the waterfront in minutes.
