San Jose Vacation Guide

San Jose is the capital city of Costa Rica and certainly isn't as bad as it is painted. Take some time to have a wander in the cities underbelly and you'll find some great places. Just make sure you leave your valuables in your hotel and take out only what you need.

The thing that is the best for me is to look up. You can see a load of concrete buildings, but then you realize that it is all surrounded by volcanoes and mountains and dramatic skies. Take some time to sit in the squares and parks and watch the Josefinos whisk by.

San Jose its a nice place to visit, you can go to the National Theater, The Museo de Oro, Museo de Jade, Museo Nacional and many more places. Be sure to visit the Museo de los Ninos, it may be a musuem for children but the interactive exhibits are great fun for both the young and old.

Like any big city, San Jose has a thriving night life. El Pueblo is a great area that has numerous bars, clubs and restaurants in the one area.

OK, this is a bit of a behemoth.  I thought I'd write a summary of the country as I found it now I'm leaving it.  Although life is full of shades of grey, the old B&W best of/worst of format will suffice for this resumé.  Sorry it is huge, I have tried to break it up though to m…
