I’ve lived on the pacific coast for 24 yrs which is beautiful and relaxing, but I LOVE going to San Jose for a few days. Great food, great shopping,and great energy. Mercado Central is a must.

I'm close to booking to go to CR, and have been researching San Jose vids on KZbin; this is by far the best. Gives a true sense of the feel of San Jose. Presents the city in a much more positive light than anything else I've seen. Thanks!

Wide angle and sunny day plus looks it was a Sunday. It makes it more beautiful than it is in real.life. I.am from Costa Rica and the beauty of the country is outside the cities. Once I killed time in downtown San Jose and took a bunch of pictures being weary of being robbed.it was a sunny day and the pics made the city look even beautiful although it's a dump.

@@fairydust-ky4oc it's safe if you use Uber or official red taxis. Uber I'd safer for your wallet as many red taxis can overcharge tourists . San Jose is as safe during daytime as any other big city just need to watch your stuff but as I said the real beauty of the country is in its nature beaches volcanoes etc as we don't have interesting architecture in our cities .

I'm Costa Rican, from Heredia, 11 km north of San Jose. San Jose is a rambling city, with beautiful architecture in some neighborhoods and dirty, dangerous, run down streets in others. This video shows some of the best parts of town, and I don't see the crowds and the traffic jams that are usual there. The city has grown in a disorganized way, without a real urban plan. And it's as dangerous as any large city, specially after dark. I never go there if I can help it. The pollution, the cars and the noise are just too much. If you visit, make sure to inform yourself what places to avoid, where you can walk in relative safety, and yes, don't trust every fast-talking officious person. Only take the official red cabs and demand the cabbie to turn on "la Maria", the device that shows you the actual fare of the ride. If he refuses, take another cab. And yes, there are pickpockets galore.

you did an amazing job picking a good time of the day to film avoiding most of the noise and pollution, picking the spots and extracting some beauty of this run-down city. I grew up there and I don't visit it unless I have to. It is not bad for Central American standards but tourists should skip this place and go directly to the beaches and National Parks. At 14:43 you were walking towards the bridge that connects 2 areas of the golf course, it brings back memories of my childhood when I used to visit some friends in that neighborhood. Thanks.

@@YachtSeeker07 Costa Rica is full of illegal immigrants mainly from Nicaragua. The majority of them are ileterate people who bring their awful customs here. However, there are many Costa Ricans struggling against unemployment and poverty. In my opinion San Jose city is an awful, polluted and dangerous place to visit, I recommend you to visit national parks, mountains and beaches in rural areas.

A friendly tip for anyone from other countries traveling here, yes. The shoeshine thing is a scam, same with any of these "Services". If you're renting a car, make sure to always take pictures of the outside, underside and inside the car. Otherwise, when you return the car, you're going to be charged "Damage" That wasn't there. Also, fill the gas. NEVER, EVER Take the Red cabs / Taxis, they will 100% Overcharge you for any and every trip you take, they are known for doing this. Just use Uber.
