San Jose Market Costa Rica

San Jose is located in central Costa Rica and is both the political and cultural capital of the country. San Jose is a modern cosmopolitan city that offers anything and everything you would expect from any other major city; plus nearly-always perfect weather, which is always a plus.

If you are flying into Costa Rica, chances are you’ll be arriving at San Jose International Airport (Juan Santamaria International Airport). Therefore, San Jose is worth taking the time to explore some of its cultural attractions. The city has a wide variety of parks, theatres, museums, universities, nightclubs, discos, casinos, fine dining, etc. – if you’re looking for it, it’s here. The best way to discover what San Jose has to offer is by taking a walking tour through the city as directed by a Costa Rican guidebook or information provided from a local tourism office. There are also driving tours of the city available.

All over San Jose you will find examples of modern, as well as traditional architectural design. Monuments, plaques, and statues located throughout the city offer interesting insights to the history of Costa Rica. There’s also the Plaza de la Cultura, which is the heart of the city, as this large square is a popular meeting place for traders, artisians, street musicians, painter, actors, practically about anybody and everybody. If the plaza is the heart of the city, then the Teatro Nacional is the pride of the plaza, as it’s without a doubt the finest building in San Jose, if not all Costa Rica.
