The stunning nation of Costa Rica can be found directly to the south of Panama. It should come as no surprise that all of the area's hotels are consistently booked solid given the annual foot traffic of more than 2 million visitors. The question now is, where should you stay?

When deciding where to stay in Costa Rica, San José and Liberia are the two most important cities to take into consideration. The majority of the country's most popular tourist destinations are located in San Jose. These include the country's main airport, the Central Market (also known as Mercado Central), Parque La Sabana, the National Theater, and the National Museum of Costa Rica.

Liberia is the second largest city in Costa Rica and provides visitors with a diverse selection of retail establishments, dining establishments, and opportunities for nightlife. Even though there are a good number of hotels in both areas, if you are searching for a peaceful place to unwind after touring the country, you could find it more convenient to book a room in an area that is not the capital.
