Travelling to San Jose, Costa Rica

The Costa Rican capital is often overlooked by those heading to this small Central American nation’s spectacular beaches and national parks, but San Jose is the kind of city that grows on you the more you get to know it. Costa Rica’s biggest and busiest city, it’s also one of Latin America’s safest, and a great starting point for your Costa Rican adventures, with gorgeous countryside and rainforests less than an hour away.

A collection of distinctive neighbourhoods, San Jose is a pleasure to explore. Head to Barrio Amon and Barrio Otoya, where faded colonial mansions have been converted into everything from restaurants to art galleries, and the fences are adorned with colourful street art.

Laze the day away in the picturesque Parque Nacional, or head to the San Jose Central Market, a huge crowded indoor market packed with tiny stalls where you can pick up souvenirs, fresh fruit, or a plate of San Jose’s famous Gallo Pinto (fried rice and black beans). Or, if you’d had your fill of Costa Rica’s national dish, San Jose is a great place to eat out - the restaurant scene here is like nowhere else in the country, with everything from French to Argentinean fare.

Day trip options from San Jose are virtually limitless. Within an hour’s drive of the city, you could be bungee jumping, white water rafting, climbing a volcano, hiking through a rainforest, touring a coffee plantation or taking a relaxing cruise.
