Audio guide14 stops

In San José, silent murals once sparked the city's loudest debates and bullet holes in stone still whisper of past revolutions. This self-guided audio tour plunges you deep into hidden chapters, revealing stories and secrets behind Costa Rica’s art, power, and identity. Uncover the layers most visitors simply walk past. Why did a gunshot shatter the calm corridors of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal? What secret codes are embedded in the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design’s most abstract installations? Who tried—more than once—to steal the boldest artifact of the National Museum? Stride through boulevards thick with rumor, slipping between sunlit plazas and shadowed halls where controversy brewed and brilliance erupted. Let each step ignite new curiosity, as San José’s boldest moments leap from cobblestones and gallery walls. Ready to discover what the city’s walls and museums are aching to reveal? Press play and unlock the pulse of San José.
