Liberia

Known as "la ciudad blanca" — the white city — for the whitewashed colonial houses and white gravel roads that once defined its streets, Liberia is the largest city in Costa Rica's Guanacaste Province, with a walkable centre full of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. It serves as the main gateway to the region, home to Guanacaste Airport, and sits within reach of mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage site in the wider area.
