A walk around the capital of Costa Rica cannot be imagined without taking a walk along its picturesque parks. The green zone of Parque Metropolitano La Sabana is a real treasure of the country. People like this place for its beauty and also because they can spend time actively here or take a walking tour in the shade of trees. It is also suitable for those who wish to get aesthetic pleasure. The majestic stadium Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica is located here. It has a capacity of 35,100 spectators and is also notable for the fact that it is the first modern arena that was built in Central America (this happened in 2011). In addition to sports events, music concerts are often held here. World stars such as Shakira, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Black Sabbath have already performed at the stadium at one time or another.
Another interesting park for walks is Parque Central, which is located near the already mentioned Catedral Metropolitana de San José. A magnificent view opens up on the religious attraction from the park. The green zone of Parque Nacional is also suitable for a promenade. This place will appeal to those who want to see both natural sights and man-made attractions. You can find delightful sculptures and fountains in the park. The garden Mariposario Spirogyra, which is located on the territory of the Parque Zoologico Nacional Simon Bolivar, is a unique place. Its visitors can enjoy the spellbinding jungles with incredibly beautiful butterflies flying around. The moment when a butterfly emerges from the pupa will be especially fascinating for children. There are a few more natural attractions in the vicinity of San Jose such as Parque España and Laguna Don Manuel, which are worthy of visiting.
