Advantages: Good night life, relaxed. Disadvantages: Crime, not much culture.
I lived In Costa Rica for 6 years and I spent most of my time in the capital, San jose, which is what I am writing about now.
The city itslef is quite small for a capital city but it makes it easyto navigate (up to a point!!). San Jose is located right in the middle of the country in what is called the 'central valley' although it isn't actually a valley.
The airport is in the north west of the city, actually outside San Jose.
Actually most of the decent hotels are outside the center too.
I cannot really recommend and as I have not really used one but I did stay in the Hampton Inn once and it was fine.
Taxis
Use them, they are cheap.
A 30 minute drive could set you back the enourmous cost of £1.20!!

Advantages: Mellow music, great for the end of a hard days work. Good Debut. Disadvantages: You must like Indie Rock/Pop.
I like this. I spent my summer listening to Jack Johnson, so you can probably guess where my musical inclinations lie. If Jack was for the Summer, this guy is for the Winter. It is a very intimate guitar album.
I drew comparisons with the quieter moments of Jeff Buckley's Grace, based purely on the sound, a sort of hypnotic guitar massage with enough beats to keep you awake. There is one superb track called Heartbeats, it's one of those tracks which is both mellow and energetic(listen, you'll see what I mean!) Throughout the album you are certainly sure of Jose Gonazalez's South American roots, the spanish guitar, really all the evidence you need.
Always difficult to recommend music, as there is no accounting for taste, but if you like a spanish guitar and guy with soft vocals then this may well be your kinda thing. Although I ...
Advantages: Good weather. And some different ice creams. Disadvantages: Not much else
...now there's a fairytale title you never hear.
I like city breaks, I really do. Thus, I decided to tag a few days in San Jose onto the beginning and end of my Costa Rican tour. In total I spent 6 nights there, but only really 4 days due to flight times and travelling towards Arenal and back from the beach. This is still about 3 and a half days more than most people told me I would need, but I ignored them nonetheless, convinced that any capital city would have a fair few things to keep me entertained.
GETTING THERE AND AROUND
I arrived at 1am into San Jose airport which is about half an hour and $20 (US) from the centre. At that time of night it took us only half that time, though I would have happily spent a little longer on the roads in exchange for Mr "Authorised Airport Taxi" Man not running all the red lights. At that ...
