Plaza de la Democracia Tours

Find a spot to sit and watch the world go by at Plaza de la Democracia. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have some amazing stories to tell.

Often it's the places that don't cost a thing that make the best travel memories. And you're sure to make a few at this free public square in Catedral. When you're finished at Plaza de la Democracia, we also recommend swinging by National Park, Museum of Costa Rican Art and National Theater.
