In-Depth Information
visit the museums of gold, jade, art and natural history, and you'll begin to understand the
multidimensional appeal of Costa Rica's largest city and cultural capital.
When to Go
Rainy season usually lasts from mid-April through December. The city's climate is consid-
erably cooler than on the coasts, especially at night; daytime temps generally vary between
21°C and 27°C (70°F to 80°F). The best time to visit is around the Christmas holidays,
when the Ticos' (Costa Ricans') festive cheer reaches its height, with the Festival de la Luz
and Las Fiestas de Zapote being unmissable highlights. Otherwise, any season is good for
exploring the capital's cultural attractions.
