Discover San José

San José might not be your typical beach vacation spot, but it's Costa Rica's heart pumping with energy. Think of it as your launchpad for exploring the country's amazing rainforests and volcanoes, or a quick stop to soak up some culture before hitting the surf.

The city itself is a fun jumble of historic buildings, like the grand National Theatre, and trendy neighbourhoods like Barrio Escalante, packed with quirky cafes and buzzing with locals. Want to brush up on your Spanish or learn about Costa Rica's cool jade jewellery? San José has museums for that (and more!). At the end of a day of exploring, you can refuel with a steaming cup of Costa Rican coffee and some traditional fare – think rice and beans with a twist.

San José is all about convenience. It's a great spot to arrange day trips or tours to surrounding volcanoes and rainforests. Plus, it has a good airport with connections all over Central America, making it a convenient base for your Costa Rican adventure.
