Costa Rica's capital rewards a day or two with the gilded Teatro Nacional, pre-Columbian gold and jade museums, and the buzzing Central Market. Barrio Escalante has grown into the country's most interesting food and craft-beer district. Most itineraries pass through, and the mild Central Valley climate makes walking pleasant year-round.
