San Jose City Vacation Packages
San Jose is Costa Rica's capital and the central nervous system of the country, serving as both a destination unto itself, and as a convenient base of operations for visitors to its other spectacular locations and natural wonders. San Jose, conveniently situated in the country's beautiful Central Valley, has a lot to offer and is unique in Central America for its renowned museums, great restaurants, and trendy boutiques. Moreover, San Jose is most famous for being the entryway into Costa Rica. The country's largest airport is here, and so the vast majority of travelers to Costa Rica come in and out of there. In addition, San Jose has some wonderful museums (especially the Gold Museum) and perhaps the best nightlife in the country.
