Many people consider San Jose to have an 'eternal spring' kind of climate. With daily temperatures averaging a delightful 25oC all year long, it's easy to see why they would say that. There are essentially to seasons in San Jose: dry and rainy. The dry, cool season runs from November through April, coinciding with Costa Rica's high tourism season. This certainly is an idyllic time to visit weather-wise, but tourism crowds can be quite heavy. December is the busiest month in San Jose as several popular festivals lead into New Year.
As the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose offers the best cultural institutes this small nation has to offer. A handful of museums present the art and history of this peaceful country, while a number of special sites like the Cafe Britt Farm demonstrate a working coffee plantation. If you need more excitement, check out San Jose's rather passive version of bull fighting.
San Jose's downtown district is nicely compact so you can take in most of the sites by foot. There are a few charismatic remnants of its glory days, such as the coffee baron mansions in Barrio Amon. There are also a few very interesting museums worth checking out, especially the Gold Museum. But at the end of the day, Costa Rica is famous for its wildlife and nature, so be sure and get out of town and enjoy some of the amazing natural sites nearby.
San Jose is the only hub for Costa Rica, so everything passes through the capital. Domestic flights can get you to a few destinations via NatureAir and Sansa. Long-distance coaches from every other Central American country arrive in San Jose, and the Tica Bus Terminal is the most useful for tourists. Once you're in San Jose, much of the downtown area is best explored on foot. Traffic is a big problem in San Jose, so sometimes hoofing it is the best choice.
