Scoping out the transportation options in San Francisco can help keep you on budget. The most convenient airport is 4.6 mi (7.4 km) away from the center in San José (SYQ-Tobías Bolaños Intl.). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can book a flight to Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport (SJO), located 9.8 mi (15.7 km) away. San Francisco may not have many public transit choices so a car rental could be a reasonable alternative to see the area.
