When is the best time for a budget trip to San Francisco?

Weather is probably a major factor when you plan your trip to San Francisco, but bear in mind that cheaper options are usually available when the weather isn't as good. The hottest months are usually March and April, with an average temperature of 20°C, while the coldest months are January and February, with an average of 19°C. The rainiest months in San Francisco are October, June, September and August, with each month seeing an average of 650 mm of rainfall.

What is there to see and do in San Francisco?

You don't need to spend big to take advantage of things to see and do in San Francisco. You can budget for the top local attractions on your list, and then make time for sights and activities that are easy on the wallet. Take in the local culture at Museum of Costa Rican Art and National Theater of Costa Rica, or visit other spots like National Museum of Costa Rica.

How can I get to San Francisco and get around on a budget?

Scoping out the transportation options in San Francisco is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is San José (SYQ-Tobías Bolaños Intl.), 2.1 mi (3.4 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, the next closest is 4.8 mi (7.7 km) away: San José (SJO-Juan Santamaría Intl.). San Francisco might not have very many public transport choices so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see the area.
