After a hectic morning exploring the sights around town, National Park is a wonderful place to chill out, rest your weary feet and enjoy some lunch.

Carmen is where you'll find National Park. And with free admission, you can come and go as you please! There's no shortage of other attractions to discover around this busy district if you're in the mood for adventure. Head for Museum of Costa Rican Art, National Theater and Jade Museum after you've crossed off the recreation and green space.
