San Jose is the most populous, cosmopolitan city in Costa Rica.  San Jose is a destination as well as a starting point for most travelers arriving to Costa Rica.  Although most travelers only spend a day or two in San Jose, most find that it offers a rewarding array of restaurants, hotels and nightlife venues.  In the last decade, San Jose has revived into a phenomenal culinary and art scene. The Barrio Amon neighborhood with its colonial vibe is home to some of the city’s trendy cafes, art galleries and quirky shops. The San Jose Central Market located on Avenida Central is a large area of narrow alleys selling everything from clothing, souvenirs and unique locally grown edibles. Be sure to visit the eclectic Escazu neighborhood to enjoy some of Costa Rica’s finest restaurants.  Many travelers wish that they had scheduled more time on their itinerary to learn more about the city of San Jose.
