TO SEE San Jose is not really a city to love. There is too much traffic and too much pollution. If there is one place in Costa Rica where it is dangerous to cross a street it is certainly here. The pedestrian area is pleasant. The museums are especially nice because all item are shown in a real professional way.
Pieces are for example very nicely lit.
Apart of that there is also the National Theater. The building itself was a little bit disappointing. It is made in Belgium and is now a school. The Soda is located at the Parque Central. Despite of the neon lamps is is quiet pleasant here as it is also a gathering place for artists of all kinds.
