A trip to San Jose, the capital, commercial center, and cultural hub of Costa Rica, gives you a chance to experience the lively atmosphere and rich cultural past of this vibrant country.On the 10th (Sat), get engrossed in the history at National Museum (Museo Nacional), then take in the exciting artwork at Galeria Namu, and then shop like a local with Multiplaza. Here are some ideas for day two: take in the spiritual surroundings of Our Lady of the Angels Basilica (Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles), pause for some serene contemplation at Ruins of the Church of Carthage, and then let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour.
For ratings, maps, photos, and other tourist information, use the San Jose travel route planner.
If you are flying in from Canada, the closest major airports are Tobias Bolanos International Airport, Juan Santamaria International Airport and Limon International Airport. In March, plan for daily highs up to 31°C, and evening lows to 22°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 11th (Sun) to allow time to travel back home.
