Marvel at the size of San Jose Cathedral. Fit in a service if you can or just wander around and appreciate a break from the outside world.

San Jose Cathedral is free, so you'll be able to give your credit card a well-deserved break. Once you've seen all you can at this principal church in the commercial district of Catedral, look around nearby National Park, Museum of Costa Rican Art and National Theater too.
