Santa Lucia is one of Maracaibo's most attractive old quarters, with narrow streets and colonial-era houses that give it a more intimate feel than the modern parts of the city. It is a good area for a short walk if you want to see older Maracaibo at street level.
The appeal is the neighbourhood as a whole rather than a single building, so allow time to wander slowly and look at the facades, balconies, and small street scenes.
