Explore the historic neighbourhoods of San José where you’ll find stunning colonial mansions that have been converted into contemporary art galleries and cafes, and then head into Barrio Escalante in the evening to taste some of the city’s best gastronomic efforts. If you find yourself in San José on the weekend, you should spend your Saturday at the farmers market and the Sunday in the idyllic Parque La Sabana. Culture buffs should explore the treasures on display in the museums of natural history, gold, jade and art, while nature lovers should run off for a day in the Orosi River Valley.
