Walking through Central Avenue is one of the best things to do in San Jose, Costa Rica because you get to experience and see typical city Costa Rican life.

Take a tour to learn about the theater and see the stunning architecture or watch a performance. Reservations required. This restaurant up in the hills of Escazu has a stunning view of San Jose, the surrounding mountains and nearby cities. They serve traditional food and drinks and on Friday nights, they have traditional performances by the local kids.

This is a wonderful place to see the city lights, eat local food and experience some Costa Rican culture. The San Jose Central Market is a must when in the city. I love the atmosphere of local markets! This is a great place to souvenir shop in San Jose since there are many stalls.
