San José
Old Gold & Upstart Art
Gritty, no-nonsense San José doesn't offer much in the way of architectural beauty, but it's
the innards that count. In all of Costa Rica, this is the only place with a dense concentra-
tion of museums, exhibiting everything from pre-Columbian gold frogs to the hottest mul-
timedia installations by Costa Rica's contemporary artists.
Música en Vivo
As the cultural capital of Costa Rica, this is where you come to catch chamber music, in-
ternational touring bands and up-and-coming local talent. The venerable Jazz Café is a sol-
id place to start.
