Though not so much of a popular destination in and of itself, San Jose nonetheless holds certain charms and sites that visitors will enjoy. The downtown area is home to a number of urban attractions, such as museums and parks, which are worth a look. Because of its high elevation - 3,839 ft - the city sees temperate weather year-round and relatively little rainfall. San Jose's central location and large size make it ideal for traveling throughout Costa Rica, as bus routes and flights branch out in all directions from the city. Additionally, the tourism offices and capabilities within this city are awesome and entirely capable of arranging trips or activities for visitors.
