Why go
Central Park’s mango trees make an easy starting point. From there, the cathedral and Juan Santamaría History Museum give the city more depth than an airport stop alone. Santamaría’s name also connects the city to the nearby international airport. Together, the stops make a coherent introduction to Alajuela.
What to look for
- Mango trees in Alajuela’s Central Park
- Alajuela Cathedral near the civic center
- The Juan Santamaría History Museum
Useful to know
- Pair the central park and cathedral on foot, then check museum hours if you want to go inside.
- Allow time for the city center separately from airport travel.
