The Theatre was an amazing place to visit and eat and finished of with a fab Irish coffee, great staff too. Beautiful church and buzzing square. Didn't really have any more time to explore more, very friendly people. Apart from the taxi driver lol
Really busy traffic. Driving is not for the faint hearted.
Not a city I would recommend you visit. Costa Rica is all about nature. San Jose is not pretty, does not have any proper cultural bits to visit. Don't waste your time!!!
I love Costa Rica for the amazing abundance and diversity of its nature, and for the warmth of its people. But traffic choked and uninspiring architecture make San Jose far from my favorite Latin American capital city.
We mostly used San Hose as a hub whilst travelling to see other parts of Costa Rica. The city may be up and coming but it is still very much a locals place. Some nice restaurants but you have to seek them out.
We stayed three times for five days in total as we used it as a central hub during our tour of Costa Rica, visiting six other locations. It has some great coffee shops and great little cafes. Go to the 1147 Cafe, Hotel Aranjuez, outstanding food.
