My travel guide to San Jose, Costa Rica.

San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica and the largest and most populous city in the country. It is the seat of government, the center of political and economic activity, and a major transportation hub of Costa Rica. San Jose is considered one of the safest and least violent cities in the Central American region. It is also a center for culture in Latin America, being made the Ibero-American Capital of Culture. Culturally, San Jose is almost entirely European, owing to many settlers from Europe migrating to the city in large numbers in the past. The city’s unique architecture alludes to this fact, as it shows the influences of European architectural styles.
